RECENT NEWS
NEW
WEBSITE FEATURES!
Summer 2009 is shaping out to be an
historical summer for your friends here at KUR! First, we broke
to you the news of our new telephone audio service (keep reading
below if you missed that). Now, we're unveiling several new
features to our website which will continue to be improved upon!
Click on the
Top 10 above for a weekly look back at the previous week's
Top 10 "Cafe KUR Jazz" tunes played here on KUR!
Under the
Photos portal, check frequently for updated,
behind-the-scenes photos from your friends here at KUR! Think of
it as your little window into our lives here at North-Eastern
Berks County's #1 Radio Station!
Then, under the
Podcasts portal, KUR is now proud to provide to you free
digital copies of some of our interviews heard weekly on our
much talked about "Diversity Rest Stop" Radio Program. It's the
show that airs Tuesdays at 2:45 p.m. and has people talking on
the streets, and now it's available to you whenever you want it,
especially if you can't listen at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesdays!
All of this exciting news is just more
reason why KUR truly is the "Radio Voice of Kutztown
University," now enhancing your listening experience through the
wonders of computerized technology!

KUR NOW
AVAILABLE ON YOUR PHONE!
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!
