CONWAY — The owner of radio station WMWV is refusing to comply with a demand by Conway Daily Sun Publisher Mark Guerringue to stop having their deejays read the Sun’s news on the air.
Keith Murray, who took over the local radio group in December, said the law allows the radio station to summarize other outlets’ news and that it is a win-win for the radio station and the other outlets.
