Kutztown University Radio FAQ

KUR Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I have my own show?

  Before having your own show, you must first join the radio station and become an active member. This means helping out with live events and helping at the station, as well. You must also complete training for on-air work and be approved by the station manager and the program director.

• Can I join the radio station?

  You can join the radio system as long as you're a KU student, faculty, or staff member. Just send an email to regensbu@kutztown.edu expressing your interest, and we'll get back to you with information. If you don't hear back within a few days, please stop by 188 or 190 at the McFarland Student Union Building or call us at 610-683-4059, as your email may have been sent to our spam box.

• Can I view KUR's public file?

  As digital internet broadcaster, KUR is not required to maintain a public file. Wanting to operate as closely as possible to a regular station in an effort to eventually become a licensed FM station, we gladly maintained one for many years. A radio station public file details what said radio station airs and does in the community interest, along with public input. Given that as of spring 2026, however, KU has decided not to pursue FM licensure and instead remain an award-winning digitial internet broadcaster, KUR will no longer update the file. KUR's digital internet broadcaster call letters are WKUR-DB. You can access our voluntarily-made public file from the past by clicking here. 

• Can KU broadcast live or play music at my campus/community organization's event?

  If you would like to book us for a remote, click on the "Live Events/Remotes" link on the main homepage. If you don't hear back within a few days, please stop by 188 or 190 at the McFarland Student Union Building or call us at 610-683-4059, as your email may have been sent to our spam box. KUR's services are always free to fellow campus organizations however donations are always appreciated. 

• How can I listen to KUR?

  KUR is a digital internet broadcaster (WKUR-DB). Our stream is available anywhere in the world on our homepage and on apps like TuneIn, myTumer, Radio Garden, or on ANY phone by simply dialing (563)-999-3101. Toll charges may apply based on your phone plan; otherwise, it is free for you to enjoy. Also, if you have an "Alexa" or "Google Home Mini" or other such on-demand Google product, try simply saying "Play Kutztown University Radio." On most devices, this works like a charm!

• How far does KUR's regular radio signal reach?

  When KUR was re-born in 2005 and until 2026, KUR broadcast as a part-15 compliant unlicensed radio station on a couple frequencies on the radio dial, most famously 1670 AM. As of 2026, KUR has slowly been removing our terrestrial radio presence with a newfound focus on digital internet broadcasting. Miss us on the radio dial? No problem! It's easier now than ever to listen to us anywhere by downloading the TuneIn, Radio Garden, or myTuner apps, or simply going to https://www.kutztown.edu/KURLive
