Bortinger also said he hopes the publicity garnered by the RFT article will help KWUR expand its audience. Although access to KWUR over the airwaves is limited, the station is accessible online at www.kwur.com.
The station is also trying to do more to promote itself on campus by bringing hip-hop and rock bands to the Gargoyle. Bortinger said these are usually smaller, unpublicized bands that are still quite good.
KWUR also offers a D.J. service that is competitively priced and serves such school functions as Bauhaus.
Currently, there are roughly 65 students involved with KWUR. Before hosting their own show, students undergo seven hours of training distributed throughout a semester. Bortinger said this teaches students how to perform the basic activities involved in radio which they will have to apply when they get their own shows.
"Every time you do a show, you get a little better," he said.
After hosting his own show, Kathol said he became engrossed with the musical culture that the station opened up to him. As general manager, he looks forward to pursuing a larger broadcasting area and adding more interesting programming.
"We're making some changes that will affect KWUR and benefit the station in the future," said Kathol.
