GOLDEN BEARS FOOTBALL ON KUR!

This year, ALL the Golden Bears football games will be broadcast live here on KUR! There's no longer a need to tune into radio stations from other cities or listen through awkward on-line websites with long, confusing URL's. Instead, you can hear all the Saturday games right here on KUR! For the schedule of when your Golden Bears play this Fall, click here and then under the "Filter by Sport" drop-down menu, choose "Football," then click on "Search." KUR's live broadcast of each game will usually begin about 5 to 15 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time.

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

"TALK WEDNESDAYS" PREVIEW FOR WEEK OF 8/30

Wednesdays are "Talk Wednesdays" here on KUR. After a great morning and early afternoon of Cafe KUR Jazz, we kick off the talk programming at 2:45 p.m. with our popular "Diversity Rest Stop" interview, interviewing a diverse newsmaker, musician, etc.

The afternoon of talk programming continues at 3 p.m. with "Fifty One Percent," a radio magazine talk show designed specifically for women, followed at 3:30 p.m. by "This Way Out," the international gay/lesbian magazine.

Diversity and multiculturalism is what we do here at KUR, and just because it's summer doesn't mean it's any different! Thanks for listening to the Radio Voice of Kutztown University, KUR!

KUR AWARDED CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION

On Wednesday, March 24, State Senator Michael O'Pake surprised Karissa Sevensky and Sarah Pellegrini's show with a surprise visit to our radio station to present us with a beautiful Commonwealth of Pennsylvania "Certificate of Recognition," honoring "five years of faithful and dedicated service to the Kutztown University students and the Kutztown community."

KUR very warmly thanks Seantor O'Pake for such a wonderful recognition. You can download an audio podcast of that special moment by clicking here. Pictures can be downloaded by clicking here, and also clicking here.

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

KUR AVAILABLE ON I-PHONES & REGULAR PHONES

Listen to KUR in full stereo on your I-Phone! (If you don't have an I-Phone and just own a regular cell or landline phone, keep reading). Go to the app store on your I-Phone and search for 'Radiolicious'. The app is free and once you download it you can open the app and search for 'kutztown' and KUR will appear. Click to listen.

If you're of the less technologically-savvy crowd, KUR is proud to announce our new partnership with AudioNow, which allows us to broadcast our radio station to your phone free of charge!* Any phone will work! Cell. Landline. No special data plan necessary. No special smart phone necessary. If your phone can call (610)-465-7860, which is a standard Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania phone number, you're all set! It's so simple, it's unbelievable. Gone are the days when you lose KUR's signal in your car or being unable to listen at home because you don't have a computer. Just dial (610)-465-7860, turn on the speakerphone, and voila, KUR on your phone! In the unlikely case you have any problems with this very simple service, feel free to e-mail or call the radio station through the contact link above.

* This service is free of charge and you are not even required to become a member to listen. Just simply dial (610)-465-7860, and you're listening to KUR on your plain old $10 cell phone! The only charges that apply are whatever it would cost you to call a Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania (Allentown/Bethlehem area) phone number, which for many of us isn't anything since most of us get free airtime minutes or free nights and weekends.

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!
