PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

We're already deep into our Summer 2012 programming! In addition to all of our regular stellar programming this week (see "schedule" link for the full rundown), tune in on Wednesday, May 23rd during Mike Regensburger's show "Monsoon Mike's Community Jukebox" for an interview with "Independent Space" Director Tara Morrison. The "Independent Space" is a relatively new, non-profit art gallery at 19 E. Main Street in Kutztown, and it is celebrating its first anniversary. Tara's been on KUR in the past when the gallery first opened in 2011. Tune in to Mike's conversation with her to hear what's going on a year later and how the gallery is celebrating. "Monsoon Mike's Community Jukebox" runs from 1 to 4 on Wednesday, with Tara planning to stop in around 2.

KUR WINS "IBS GOLD MICROPHONE AWARD"

On Saturday, March 3rd, the staff of KUR attended the Intercollegiate Broadcast System (IBS) College Radio Conference in New York City. At the conference, KUR was presented with the "IBS Gold Microphone Award" for "Outstanding Broadcast Excellence." KUR is very proud of its student staff for this accomplishment. Other much larger college radio stations received awards of lesser caliber. Click here for a photo of KUR Student President Kevin Rose holding the award.

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MEMBER OF KUR?

Unfortunately, training is already half over this semester. Keep in mind, KUR trains new show hosts PROMPTLY into every new semester, so make sure to check back first thing in the fall! That being said, we still welcome any current students, faculty, or staff to be a part of KUR behind-the-scenes. Start coming to our weekly meetings Tuesdays at 11 a.m. in LC-113-B and pull one of the moderators aside following the meeting to introduce yourself. We'll tell you how you can get involved. Any other questions, don't hesitate to e-mail kur@kutztown.edu

A NEW NAME FOR DAYTIME/LATE NIGHT FORMAT!

Our relaxing yet energizing daytime and late night mix of music has been called "Cafe KUR" for seven years. Over those years, the format was tweaked here and there but has always included a healthy dose of jazz, soul, funk, light rock, and oldies. So in 2012, we've decided to stop trying to label what kind of music it is and rather label what it encompasses. Welcome to "The KU Radio Lounge," where the music defines the setting.

-----------------------------------------

KUR AVAILABLE ON "TuneIn"

You can listen to KUR on your smart phone through the "TuneIn" application. Click on "TuneIn" and search for KUR. Simple as that! For you lower-tech folks, you can listen to KUR on ANY phone in the world (cell or landline) simply by dialing (610)-465-7860. The only charges for either of these services are any applicable data or voice charges you are billed for through your service.

-----------------------------------------

Watch today and learn a little more about the "Radio Voice of Kutztown University, KUR!" Click here to view the feature.

KUR PERSONALITY PHOTOS!

We're slowly adding photos of the voices you hear every day on KUR! Click on the photos portion of our website, and check over the coming days and weeks for more photos!

-----------------------------------------

STUDIO WEBCAM!

Our listeners and personalities asked for it; KUR provides. An in-studio webcam!

KUR IS YOUR NEWS LEADER IN NORTH-EASTERN BERKS!

How many of you out there are on Twitter and regularly follow people?

If you already are a Twitter user, make sure you're following us at http://twitter.com/kuradio

If you're not already a Twitter user, make sure to join (if for no other reason than to follow us) and then follow us at http://twitter.com/kuradio

Why? Per popular request, and in our ongoing effort to be North-Eastern Berks County's news leader in addition to entertainment, KUR is now sending out news and traffic bulletins over Twitter, along with our regular station updates. We will NOT be sending those news and traffic bulletins over Facebook, based on the way Facebook fan pages make groups send out group e-mails. We WILL be keeping our Facebook fan page, though, for other fun purposes (scroll farther down for the link).

So do it now and don't delay! The city papers and radio stations do their best to cover news in our area and we respect that, but some of those smaller stories like icy local roads sometimes get missed. KUR News on Twitter will do our best to fill that niche! And when we can't be in the news room to get it on-air as fast as we'd like, that's where http://twitter.com/kuradio comes in.

Join today! http://twitter.com/kuradio

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 Incorporated (KUSSI), the Kutztown University Student Government Board (SGB), KUR staff and management, or other affiliated organizations.

-----------------------------------------

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) Unless otherwise stated, 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. An exception to this would be contests specifically for KU students only, whereupon such would clearly be stated in conjunction with the giveaway.

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 contests where we would call you. Any such contest call you may receive should be considered a scam and reported to your local authorities and/or KUR. The only exception to this would be if you signed up to win a prize from one of our promotional tables, whereupon we will only call you if you won one of the prizes.

7) Any questions about any of these rules should be directed to KUR management at (610)-683-4059.

8) Good luck!
