　　College Radio Station to Undergo Major Changes?

　　The university is considering making major changes to the college radio station. Changes would include an expansion of the station’s broadcasting range, which would allow the radio ’s programming to reach nearby towns. One goal of the plan is to attract more students to apply its communications program. Another goal is to provide the university with an extra source of revenue. University officials expect the enhanced radio station to significantly increase the number of listeners, which will in turn encourage businesses to place commercials on the radio.

　　Listening Part:

　　Now, listen to two students discussing the article.

　　(man) What do you think of the proposal?

　　(woman) I think it’ll work. I mean, the range of the station now is basically limited to the campus. So it’s basically just a few programs mainly for students.

　　(man) Yeah?

　　(woman) Well, if this proposal goes th rough there will be more programs and it’ll give

　　the students more professional experience as they expand the programming for a

　　much larger, you know, real-life audience. And stuff like that will give them a better

　　shot at getting a job after they graduate.

　　(man) Of course.

　　(woman) Besides, the whole university will benefit from it.

　　(man) What do you mean?

　　(woman) Well, you know my friend Tony, right? He told me that the radio station at

　　his university did something like this about five years ago.

　　(man) And?

　　(woman) Well, it’s a success! They are making a lot of money out of commercials and

　　they are using it to offer more scholarships and to help fund projects to renovate the

　　facilities of other programs.

　　(man) That sounds really good.
