KUR’s business hours/late-night format has a new name. The former “Café KUR” is now “The KU Radio Lounge on KUR” and now features an even brighter mix of jazz, rhythm & blues, classics, and jazzy pop. Thanks to continued assessments, we’ve discovered this is what our business-hours listeners like most and in just a couple of days since the business-hours name tweak, our ratings have nearly doubled. Make it a New Year’s resolution in 2012 to play KUR at your desk all day every day!
