The FCC denies the City of Wilmington's challenge to WHYY-TV's license renewal application, although the agency hasn't yet renewed the station's license.

Mayor Baker's Communications Director, John Rago, tells WDEL News the Baker administration still believes WHYY should do more than it's done recently to serve the community in Wilmington, the station's city of license.Audio Here

Rago also says WHYY, which has been licensed here since 1963, should increase its involvement in arts and education locally.

The station's license renewal application has been pending before the FCC since 2007, and the city filed its challenge in December of last year.
