October has been exciting month so far for KUGR Radio! Here are a few reasons why:

  1. DJs started their shows on Wednesday Oct. 14th, so check out the show tab to see who is on and when.

    2. We have finally received our new equipment and automation software, but we are still waiting on installation.

    3. We raised $296.24 for Band of Brothers Northwest.

    4. We started Loud Speaker Lunch Hour on Fridays from 12pm-1pm, where we crank up the tunes and students can hear us outside!

    5. We have four members of the board going to this year’s CBI convention in Minneapolis, MN next week!

    6. We were approved to giveaway tickets to concerts at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, WA.
