In a bit of an overstatement, this is nearly criminal. If they don't want phone calls, fine, put a note on the 'about' page: "no phone calls accepted". Of course, any listener knows they accept calls, but, come on... this is the second millenium, the internet is beyond teen years... get the basics right.... oh, and if you offer a link to search playlists, please make sure it is correctly coded so that it returns some data, any data... rather than being a supreme time waster and pure aggravation stoker. holy budda. --["Users/crank"]	+ ''2011-11-11 14:04:15'' [[nbsp]] i have to say that on 11/11/11 , i found no phone number listed at the wrur.org page, other than a sponsorship contact.

- Despite the claims by WRUR is "operated" by students, there is strong evidence from the programming that it is not. Case in point, Scott Regan's Open Tunings [http://www.wxxi.org/radio/wrur/ot/index.html] which airs every weekday morning from 9AM -12PM. Open Tunings is advertised as a "new taste of music" but it plays mostly old folk parent-sounding songs. A show called "World Cafe" dominates the afternoon weekday hours. This show is not by a local host but a national syndicate run out of the University of Pennsylvania. Students are allowed to go on air in the evening time slots. WRUR 88.5 is more accurately 88 adult-dominated programming; .5 students programming. -
