KLZR is student favorite
By Scott MacWilliams Kansan staff writer
Mount Oread rocks and twangs to a variety of area radio stations. But is the Hill a metal magnet or cowboy country?
The Small Business Development Center, operated through the School of Business, surveyed KU students last year and found that KLZR, the Lazer, 105.9 FM, was the winner among students.
some diversity in music preferences and in when students liked to listen to music.
The survey showed that more than 50 percent listened to the alternative station in the evening.
"I listen mostly to the Lazer, 105.9," said Laurie McClelland, Wichita junior. "I don't listen when I am studying, just when I am driving in my car, or I'm at home relaxing."
A cross-section of radio listeners in Watson Library supported the survey results. However, there was
Paul Guccione, Abilene freshman, is also a Lazer devotee and a big fan of alternative rock.
"For me, it the Lazer by far",
Guccione said. "If I wanted to listen to country, I would have gone to K-State."
Some students said their tastes covered a range of styles but still included the alternative-rock
Kassy Stephens, Gardner freshman, said she listened to music when she was studying.
sound.
"I like to listen to 107.3 for alternative rock and 104.3 for country," she said. "It just depends on my mood. Sometimes I listen to classical."
Jodie Emahiser and Takashi Fujimoto are alternative rock fans but like different stations.
"I like the Lazer, 105.9, because they play a good variety of different kinds of alternative music," said Emahiser. Lenexa junior.
"I mostly listen to alternative rock on KJHK," said Fujimoto, Fukuoka, Japan, senior.
Lawrence could get new radio station
By Scott MacWilliams Kansan staff writer
If all goes as planned, Lawrence may gain a new community radio station in the near future.
"Once we reach a critical mass, it'll take off, and we're about there," said Bob Kirch, Lawrence graduate student. "Our first two fundraisers went fairly well."
Kirch said the new station's organizers hoped to begin purchasing equipment this summer and begin broadcasting in August.
"We are open to any kind of suggestions," Kirch said. "We want to put on the air what the community wants to hear."
in radio but was interested particularly in seeing the new station offer alternative news sources.
Kirch said he had no background
"We want to get people from Haskell Indian Nations University, the African-American community, the international students at KU and any other group that wants to be involved," Kirch said.
He said KKFI-FM in Kansas City, Mo., was a good community radio model.
The station plans to start small and build programming time as more citizens get involved.
"We'll probably start with a three-to-five-watt transmitter and be on the air six to eight hours a day," Kirch said. "We're still looking for a place to locate our facilities, but
we want to be near the campus."
The two fundraisers, held in November and December, featured local bands and poets.
Kirch said that the station had support in the artistic community and that it had been offered technical support from people employed by other local radio stations.
"I see the community radio station project as urging people to support local businesses and the arts community," Furst said.
Kelly Furst, manager of Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St., is involved in promoting the station.
Furst works as a sound engineer for local music events, and he said he hoped to have his own music program on the new station.
