KUR to Receive National Election Coverage Audience

Kutztown University Radio will participate in nationally syndicated election coverage today (Election Day), Nov. 5, and tomorrow, Nov. 6. The station has been asked to be the featured broadcast from 8-8:30 p.m. this evening on Student News Live, a product of the College Radio Day Foundation, meaning what is streaming out to affiliates nationwide will be coming from your very own Kutztown University Radio station, KUR. This opportunity is providing KUR news students a stellar opportunity at real live news coverage of a major national story and will give our listeners the opportunity to hear something atypical of the ordinary offerings tonight on national cable television. We hope you'll tune in to KUR and support us.

Flags of concern include "in danger of failing," "recommendation to withdraw," or a "custom academic concern."
