By Erin Rooney By Ehl Rooney Kansan staff writer For 72 years Lawrence residents have tuned their ears and their dials to area radio stations. Four stations now dominate the dial in the community and offer a variety of programming to Lawrence area listeners: KANU.KJKH.KIWN and KLZR. "I think that most people like to listen to more than just one station," said Sara Embree, Davenport, Iowa, senior, a sales and promotions assistant for KLZR and KLWN. "I think that it's good our community has a lot of different choices in the programming it offers." Embree said. KLWN markets itself as the heartbeat of Lawrence. KJHK is the college radio station in the community. Blake Hodges, Winnetka, Ill., junior, a development director for KJHK, said KJHK offered a different style of programming for KU students and Lawrence. An adult contemporary music station, KLWN also reports 13 hours of local and national news and one hour of farm news a week. "KJHK gives smaller, lesser-known bands, who are just as good as the popular bigger bands, an opportunity to be played on the radio station," Hodges said. Nicky Skubal, Iowa City, Iowa, junior and KJH promotions director, agreed. "We play off-the-wall, not-so-standard songs," Skubal said. "It's an entirely different audio experience than it is anywhere else in Lawrence." Skubal said that KJHK was diverse in the music it played, from jazz and hip-hop to rockabilly and funk. Rob Klotz, a radio announcer, plays music and talk shows on the public, commercial-free KANU. "I like bringing the good stuff to people," Klotz said. "We play the best symphonies, the most important jazz musicians and the premier news network in America, NPR." KLZR, also known as the Lazer, is owned and operated by Lawrence Broadcasters Inc., the same company that operates KLWN. The station joined the Lawrence airways in 1963. KLZR plays modern rock. Jeff Peterson, an announcer for the station, identifies KLZR as a cutting-edge commercial radio business. "I think anyone who lives in the Lawrence and Kansas City area should listen to the Lazer because we're a living, breathing station that really tries to focus on what's happening in the community." Petterson said. "The Lazer is one of the most progressive and leader stations in the music industry. It is 100 percent behind the Lawrence community, the town that I love." College students tune in to Lawrence radio. Susan Hovorka, Topeka graduate student, likes to listen to '50s and '60s lounge music on the public radio station. "When I'm in Lawrence, I listen to KANU and KLZR," Hovorka said. "I wish The Retro Cocktail Hour was on (KANU) some other time slot after seven on Saturday nights. I'd like to think I have some sort of a social life." 10%off Any Menu Item For All KU Students (expires 9/19/96) 9 East 8th Street • Downtown Lawrence • 749-2477 For Delivery 865-0888 • Call In Orders Welcome Monday -Saturday 11am -10pm • Sunday 12pm-7pm No need to go into Kansas City to find the name brands you need! - Kenmore · Amana We're in Lawrence and we carry brands such as - Sonv * Panasonic - Whirlpool - Fisher - Wimpoo Fishier Kenmore Amana - GE - Craftsman - Kitchenaid Hours: Tues, Thurs, Fri 9-8 Mon, Wed. 9-6 Sat. 9-5 Sun. 12-5 841-8787 2108 W. 27th Suite H Complete eye examination!
