      The
      influx
      of
      money
     
     
      could
      prove
      helpful

      pelling
      some
      complaints

      quality
      of
      the
     
     
      output,
      and
      could

      station
      reorganize
      its
      struc-

      it
      closer
      to
      its
     
     
      ultimate

      Since
      the
     
     
      funding
      cut,
      the
      station
      has
     
     
      been
      kept
      alive
      by

      of
      the
     
     
      station’s
      equipment.
      “We
     
     
      want
      to
      strengthen
      the

      decision
      to
      reinvest
      in
      the
     
     
      station.
     
    

    
     
      “I’m
      very,
      very
     
     
      happy,”
      she
      says.
      “It’s
     
     
      something
      that’s
      long
     
     
      overdue.
      It
      took
      three
     
    
   
   
    
     
      years
      to

      Tran
      sees
      the
      new

      volunteers
      for

      has
      helped
      resurrect
     
     
      the
      station,
      and
      hopes
      that
     
     
      the
      momentum
      continues.
     
    

    
     
      “T
      think

      She
      also

      in
      increasing
     
     
      the
      funding.
     
    

    
     
      Although

      they
      are
     
     
      still
      cautious.
     
    

    
     
      “This
      year’s
      gone
     
     
      well,”
      Gourley
      says.
      “But
     
     
      in
      previous
      years,
      there’s
     
     
      always
      been
