WFUM-TV began broadcasting WMCU-TV programming Jan. 15. The station was purchased by Central Michigan University late last October from the University of Michigan for $1 million.

Central Michigan University Public Broadcasting hopes to have WFUM-TV of Flint up and running by the end of the month.

The Central Michigan University Board of Trustees approved a proposal Tuesday to submit an offer to purchase WFUM TV in Flint for $1 million.
