"Most of the advertising we sell is to those who come to us," he said. The station, donated to Murray State last year by WRUS is broadcast on cable systems in Calloway, Marshall and Graves counties. It has few local programs and is affiliated with America One Network, which broadcasts family-oriented general entertainment.

Wendt said that when the university accepted the station, it was made clear to the Board of Regents and others that selling advertising was a possibility. When the regents voted to accept the donation on Feb. 20, 1998, no one from the broadcast industry was present to protest or raise questions about the possibility of commercial sales. The station has five full-time employees and several part-time student workers. One of the missions of the station is to give hands-on training to students majoring in broadcasting.

It also is used as a tool to provide broadcast services to the region. Marinoff said the station does not have a published advertising rate schedule. He said he negotiates prices with anyone interested in buying ads. So far, very few local advertisements have been sold, he said. Wendt said the busiest time in local sales was during last year's local elections when candidates bought time.

He said he and others will gather information to present to the KBA board. One of those who will be present to protest MSU's commercial sales will be Dwayne Stice, ownermanager of WCCK-FM, a low-power radio station in Calvert City. He has been the most vocal broadcaster to complain about Channel 46. "We've had an ongoing debate," Stice said.

"I have a problem with a public institution competing in something has traditionally been in the private sector. Any dollar that they take out of the commercial market hurts somebody else." Stice first raised the issue at a KBA meeting in early 1998, but the board did not take an official position on the issue. Wendt said the campus newspaper, the Murray State News, also sells advertising but no one complains that it takes revenue from other media sources. 1998. She said Buford told her that the conspiracy story was a "setup." Hodge said she didn't tell anyone about her conversation with Buford before the trial because she didn't think the information was important and because she feared Buford.

Buford was a key witness in the trial. Judge Jeff Hines will formally sentence Williams on May 7.

At that time, he also will consider the motion for a new trial. Buford testified that in February 1996, Williams gave her $50,000 to hire someone to kill his wife, Bobbi Holman Williams. Buford said she gave the money to Randall Yost of Chicago, but Yost never carried out the murder. On July 16, 1996, Bobbi Williams was murdered in her Marshall County home.
