What I love is a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. I'll just have peanut butter and bananas, then peanut butter and pickles. Peanut butter and chocolate I don't recommend.

MUSIC
Community radio station brings unique artistic outlet to Lawrence
BY GARRET GRIFFIN editor@kansan.com
The local music scene in Lawrence could become more prominent with the creation of KAWR - Lawrence's first legal community radio station. The station will operate out of the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Massachusetts St. A team of volunteers has been working for years to create a radio station that reflects the unique culture that Lawrence is known for.
Barry Lee and Kevin Kennedy, two of the primary organizers of KAWR, said that the station has
been working to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations since 2007, but it has recently been granted a license for non-commercialized education radio and will begin operating during the summer of 2012 under the 89.9 call number. KAWR will then be the first Lawrence radio station to be entirely funded and operated by the local community.
"It's about making the community accessible to the community," Kennedy said, "We're not beholden to the advertisers."
Kennedy and Lee explained that all of the content and programming for KAWR will be
entirely local and much more diverse than traditional radio stations.KAWR has been working with local junior high and high schools to get students involved.The station will feature many bands from Lawrence as well.KAWR is also encouraging local residents to apply for radio host positions.Both Kennedy and Lee seemed very open to any type of programming that reflects Lawrence."Community radio is like a smorgasbord: we're assuming an eclectic type of format," Kennedy said.
KAWR is relying on community donations and federal grants in order to create this unique

KAWR organizer
KAWR will be hosting its firstcommunity-input meeting Tuesday, March 1. Lee explained that
this meeting will help the station get an understanding of the type of programming that Lawrence residents want.
"This allows for more of a dialogue between the radio station and the community," Kennedy said.
Kennedy and Lee are optimistic that KAWR will bring a unique artistic outlet to Lawrence that cannot be matched by mass, commercialized radio.
"Big companies can't compete with local programming," Lee said. "Their tens of millions of dollars can't compete with a DJ with a turn table and a passion."
