The encouraging thing, though, is that the staff and fans of KTXT are very well organized, with an incredible Facebook campaign with 4500 group members today. They are remaining optimistic, and are attracting supporters from all over the country (including the former Lubbock resident Anthony from Brooklyn).

According to a post by KTXT Station Manager Blake Porter on Facebook:

“…What we need to show the administration how much KTXT means to the people, and how passionate we are about our cause. Your letters need to be about how important this is…Tell the stories that KTXT has given you that you will hold on to for the rest of your life, the stories you will tell your family, your friends, your children, your grandchildren and remind the administration that these stories you tell them will affect their choice of university in the future…These letters need to be directed at the chancellor of the university Kent Hance, the president Guy Bailey, the vice president of student affairs Michael Shanrock, and the associate president of student affairs Jan Childress.”
