ARE YOU INTERESTED IN
JOINING KUR?
If you are a student, faculty, or staff
member of Kutztown University, you are eligible to join KUR! Our
next round of training begins as soon as the fall semester kicks
off. Dates, times, and locations of training will be posted here
as we draw closer to the fall semester, so check back here later
in the summer for the Fall 2008 training schedule. We hope to
have you on board this fall!

CAFE KUR SLIGHTLY
TWEAKS FORMAT
As of 11 a.m. June 4th, Cafe KUR has
slightly tweaked its format, based on your comments and
suggestions over the past couple of years. Cafe KUR listeners
will now hear a slightly greater emphasis on jazz (both
traditional and contemporary), but also keeping the soft oldies
from the 50s through the past decade in the mix, as well. Think
of it as a pizza with mixed toppings ... half jazz/half oldies!
Jazz is getting harder and harder to find on the radio dial, and
being that it is arguably one of the roots of American music,
KUR felt the need to step in! Cafe KUR is
the only place where you can hear Miles Davis and George Benson
melded with
Elvis Presley and Barbara Streisand. Welcome to the new
Jazz/Oldies mix of Cafe KUR! As always, feel free to share your
comments by e-mailing us at
kur@kutztown.edu Cafe KUR is more than just tunes on the
radio. It is a musical form of art!

SUMMER 2008 SCHEDULE
REVEALED!
Summer shows have begun and the 2008
Summer Schedule on KUR has been released! For a full listing of
times and genres, click the "Schedule" link above or see the
"Daily Lineup" to the left. Also, check back over the coming
weeks as more shows may be added or times moved around a bit.
Have a safe and Happy Summer, and take KUR with you wherever you
go! We're only a few laptop computer clicks away.

BACKUP STREAM NOW ON!
You know the story. We don't have to tell
you. KUR's webstream has been very fickle as of late. And while
the computer gurus on-campus have done everything possible to
make it more reliable, it still occasionally cuts out during
prime hours. The reason behind this is unclear (computer
problems are never clear), but KUR took matters into our own
hands and got a backup stream going through Live 365. So when
you're in the mood to listen to KUR (hopefully frequently), try
listening through the normal portals in the upper left. If that
fails or if it cuts out midstream, then simply
click here for our official backup stream. You can also
acquire a link to the backup stream directly below our normal on
and off-campus portals, in the upper left hand portion of this
page. We encourage you
to try the regular portals first, and the backup one as your
second choice. Thanks for being so patient with this issue over
the past few months and we hope this new backup stream is a bit
more reliable so that you can hear KUR 24/7 on your computer!

SCAM
ALERT
KUR has once again been made aware of a
scam going around in which an unknown person is making calls to
people and asking them to participate in a $1,000 giveaway if a
few questions are answered or a challenge is taken. KUR would
like to once again inform the public that no such
station-sponsored event is occurring, and we are attempting to
trace the source of these calls. We apologize and encourage you
to direct any concerns to your local police and to KUR. Our
number here at KUR is (610)-683-4059.
-----------------------------------------
MISSION OF KUR
The
purpose of KUR is to
provide a means of student training and experience in radio
broadcasting, to provide a means of entertainment and
information for the student body and community, to serve the
public interest, and to be an instrument of expression for
student, faculty, and community opinion, in accordance with the
rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and KU
policy.
Any
views or opinions expressed on KUR are not necessarily those of
Kutztown University, Kutztown University Student Services

-----------------------------------------
CONTEST RULES
Kutztown University Radio occasionally runs an
over-the-air contest soliciting listeners to call in and win a
prize or qualify for a prize. Some basic rules to remember:
1) Contests are open to anyone other than people directly
affiliated with KUR, meaning KUR members are not eligible to
participate and win. Per approval from KU's KUSSI department,
the contests are open to anyone else including University
students, faculty, staff, and of course any random listeners in
the local, national, or international community.
2) Please only one winner per family.
3) You are not allowed to win any KUR contest more than once
every 30 days.
4) Prizes are to be picked up at KUR's offices during normal
business hours which can be acquired by arrangement with a KUR
staff member. Under special circumstances, KUR may agree to mail
the prize, but this is not guaranteed. You are normally
responsible for picking up your own prize.
5) KUR is not responsible for any losses or damages that occur
from the use of any prize you win from the radio station.
6) KUR never
conducts any outbound phone contests. Any such call you may
receive should be considered a scam and reported to your local
authorities and/or KUR.
7) Any questions about any of these rules should be directed to
KUR management at (610)-683-4059.
8) Good luck!
