An e-mail sent on Feb. 2 notified Dan Ryckert that his show, "Foghat Live," would no longer have a home on KUUI-TV Channel 31.

Ryckert, Olathe junior and creator of the sketch comedy show, said his show was taken off the air because of offensive content.
Dan Ryckert, Olathe junior, displays the "Bee Bong of Awesome" for his sketch comedy "Foghat Live" during a shoot last year. Ryckert directed and produced the sketch, which KUJH-TV recently pulled from its programming schedule.
"I'd be willing to budge on a few of the scenes, but they haven't talked to me," said Ryckert, theater and film major.
Offensive content is only half the story, said Dick Nelson, acting general manager of KUIH-TV.
Programs that were produced by non-journalism students were removed from the station's programming just after the first of the year.
Changes within the station's management and within the School of Journalism are other factors behind the reformatting.
"We're concentrating on making our programming fit into our curriculum." Nelson said.
Informational programming is the priority of the channel and the School of Journalism, and changes are helping to achieve that. Nelson said.
"KUJH-TV News" and "Sports Talk" are the only programs aired on the channel that are produced by KU students.
All other programming comes from a syndicated feed called the Research Channel, Nelson said.
New informational programs are planned for the channel. New faculty who specialize in science and medical journalism will produced these programs in conjunction with KUJH-TV, Nelson said.
The channel is like the C-SPAN of college television, said Ann Brill, dean of journalism.
But the new format eliminates
This worried Josh Efron, co-creator of "Evil Kansas." The Overland Park junior said actors would be harder to find for film school projects and as a result projects would suffer.
the station as an outlet for film students.
The shows weren't canceled, but put on hold. Nelson said.
"Being put on hold is the equivalent of being canceled," Efron said.
He said he was exploring options, such as placing shows online for download or on Channel 6.
Efron is working to make his show and others available to students.
Entertainment projects would be considered again for KUJH-TV sometime either this summer of fall, Nelson said.

New printing services shop to be located in Union
The Kansas Union will have a new printing services shop, but Union administrators are unsure of the opening date.
Negotiations with two different printing service providers began two weeks ago.
The shop will be on the 3rd floor of
the union in the previous location of Footprints.
Services the shop would provide include a full postal station, mailboxes, binding, printing and copying.
Pat Beard, director of building services in the Kansas Union, said that the shop would have a dual role: To help the University and to create business for the Union.
The Kansas Union had previously rented out space to Mail Boxes etc. and
the U.S. Postal Service. Both companies shut down because of lack of business. But Beard said demand for a post office as well as a printing shop existed.
"The international students, for instance, have to go all the way downtown to send packages home," Beard said. "It would definitely be easier for them to have a post office here on campus."
