For those who are unaware, CFUR is UNBC’s very own campus radio sta- tion and broadcasts from its office located on the upper level of the NUSC building. Kurjata has been hired to replace outgoing station manager Christopher Earl who has held the position since 2003. Kurijata believes that “Christopher has done an amazing job at moving CFUR forward over the past seven years. He’s done a lot to build its reputation in the community, and I’m excited to bring my own ideas and experiences to the model he’s helped create.” Kurijata has many experiences which he can bring to the radio station including his for- mer role as Editor in Chief with Over the Edge which will undoubtedly prepare him to deal with the student population. Moreover, Kurijata has worked with the provincial government at their communications office as well as at the Prince George Bureau of CBC Radio. Kuri- jata has also held a position with the local music festival Cold Snap. While Kurijata is still new to the position, he already has many plans for the future of the radio station and he especially want to increase community participation, “I’ve been speaking with some volunteers about creating a concert budget so we are able to bring bands to Prince George who might not tour here otherwise.” Kurijata also plans to use so- cial networking sights like Twitter and Facebook to increase CFUR’s presence overall and connect with the audience on a more direct level. CFUR is a volunteer based organization with students hosting a variety of different radio shows ranging from sports commentary to bizarre world music you probably have never heard. CFUR also broadcasts several syndicated shows including Democracy Now. CFUR was granted a license in 2001 as a campus station and 2007 became a Class A radio station. Although CFUR is a relatively new radio station it has already managed to be- come a Prince George institution and an alternative to the largely mainstream stations of- fered within the city. You can listen to CFUR online by visiting cfur.ca or tune your dials to 88.7 fm.
