Bad, Not. . . Late?

darcie — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 03:26:50 +0000

There have been so many changes up at CFUR Radio over the past six months, the most important of them being the lack of new Bad, Not Cheap episodes. The public outcry has finally pulled me back to the radio.

Yes, you heard right and you heard it here first. Within the next week, Bad, Not Cheap will be BACK with a brand new episode and time.

As usual, I will be quite secretive about the actual new date and time, but only because I haven’t decided it yet. Let that be a reassurance to all of my fans that I haven’t changed one bit, for better or for worse, in my absence.

I have a lot of insignificant stories and opinions to share. Look forward.

-Darcie

Start Your Wednesdays Off With A Mosh Pit

ZinaT — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:28:16 +0000

One of CFUR’s longest running shows is “In the Mosh Pit”, two hours of heavy metal. That show has now moved to Wednesday mornings at 9 am so you can get your day started off with some high energy.

You can follow In the Mosh Pit on Twitter or Facebook.

New Look, New Connections

cfurca — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:57:48 +0000

If you visit our website with any frequency, you’ll have noticed some renovations recently. Today, our new look is in public “beta” mode.

The main difference is that it’s clean. Gone is the black background and excess images. In it’s place the easy on the eyes white background, with greyish text. Navigation to the main parts of the site are at the top and the side, as are links to our presence on our social media sites.

On those subjects, our Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr groups are standbys, as is the ability to check-in with us on Foursquare (or follow us, though being a radio station we don’t move much). Ustream is one of your options for our live online feed and you can scrobble along with last.fm.

Mixcloud

The two new ones we’d like to draw your attention to are Mixcloud and Tumblr. First Mixcloud. You may have noticed that our podcast feeds have dried up as of late. To make a long story short, the service we previously used to publish our shows has moved away from the audio distribution service. While we figure out how best to move forward, a few of our volunteers have hopped onto Mixcloud. It’s an online streaming service aimed at re-thinking radio for the digital age. We believe in letting our listeners listen to us when and where they want, and Mixcloud has an easy to use follow/follower model. So far UNBC Sports Studio, Almost Mainstream, and Thanks, Babe have moved in this direction, and if it works out, more to come– keep your eyes on our Mixcloud group as more come on board.

Tumblr

Tumblr is something we’ve tried in the past, but are jumping on again. If you’re not familiar, it’s a micro-blogging service great for sharing pictures, audio, quotes, and more. We’ve started up a new one and are going to do just that– follow along there for multimedia entertainment (like this new song from Nathan Kelly and the Arbitrarys).

Blog

As for this space, we’re going to keep on using it for news and updates. Some series are in the works, too– more on that as we move into 2012.

So, what do you think? Let us know what you think (or if you notice any mistakes– this is still beta) in the comments on here, or on Facebook/Twitter!

Ch-Ch-Ch Changes

Andrew — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:37:36 +0000

Hello, faithful listeners.

The things you’ve endured!

Weak signals. Static. Choppy internet streams.

It’s been tough.

But we are nearing the end of this slog.

We have been upgrading.

We have been assessing.

We have been listening.

And we are in the homestretch.

Assuming the world doesn’t end, 2012 will be CFUR’s year. Keep your eyes on this space and your ears on your radio.

After feasting your eyes and ears on this, of course.

Technical Difficulties (updated)

Andrew — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:44:52 +0000

So… you may have noticed that CFUR is not currently on the air. Unfortunately, our antennae has simply stopped operating. We are in the process of fixing it, but in the meantime we have dead air. But we are still broadcasting online, through uStream– you can find the link to listen anywhere with an internet connection right here.

Sorry!

UPDATE: Everything should be working fine!

Bad, Not Cheap Returns!

darcie — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:51:25 +0000

It’s time for school to start again, and that rabbit pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about it.

I’d like to apologize to my many fans and listeners. . . for having such inconsistent shows over the past few months. I managed to record a few gems when I could, but oh, sigh. It’s just not the same when you can’t hear me every week.

My new slot for September is now Friday MORNINGS from 10-11am. I’ve had zero success with early morning radio shows, so naturally I thought the best move for my career would be to start early.

Keep listening!

Words of Earnest

darcie — Mon, 30 May 2011 18:49:47 +0000

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there was no new episode of Bad, Not Cheap this morning! A very devastating disappointment, indeed. However, be sure to tune in to the repeats this week, as a new episode will magically appear later on this week.

The upcoming episode will be a killer.
