It’s the second day of school for UNBC students, and we’ve had lots of people stopping by to find out what this campus radio thingy is all about. Well, here’s how it works–
CFUR is a campus-based community station, meaning we’re at the university, but we broadcast to and are available for the entirety of Prince George. Tune in to us at 88.7 fm anywhere in the city, or online at CFUR.ca anywhere in the world.
If you are a student, you are a member of the radio society. This means that you are able to get involved with shaping the direction that CFUR goes.
What does this mean? Basically, whatever you want. We’re always looking for on-air personalities, so if you think you’d like to try it out there are a couple of options: create your own show, or work with one of our existing formats. For example, we need someone to take over Hiphopnautic, a weekly showcase of rap music. We also need DJ’s to handle the CFUR Mixtape, which is a multi-hour flow of new music.
If talk is more your thing, we’re always open to ideas. Some ideas: shows about the education system, urban planning, environment, current events, political issues, philosophy, religion.
Behind the scenes we need people to help out with public service announcements, ad management, website updating and the like. We’re also looking for people who can market CFUR and/or get a handle on our listener numbers and demographics.
If this or anything else interests you, stop by or email info@cfur.ca.
Meanwhile, here’s some other things for you to check out around campus:
1. Check out the other volunteer opportunities on and off-campus.
2. “Like” the University of Northern British Columbia on Facebook– you could win some coffee. While you’re at it, “like” CFUR, too!
3. Pick up tickets for NUGSS The Last Night of Summer: BACKYARD BBQ XV. The bands are Daniel Wesley and Bedouin Soundclash– not to be missed.
