The University awarded a contract for Radio Broadcast Programming.
The University requires programming and membership to National Public Radio for use at the campus station.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for programming and broadcast license rights for university-operated radio and television stations(30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b)(7)) NPR provides quality single source programming campus stations can broadcast rather than develop.
