  1. KNTU has a great track record for producing professional broadcasters. Instead of being yet another college rock station, they've become well-established for jazz at a university that's known for its College of Music.

    UNT fans often complain about the lack of traditions. Jazz is a UNT tradition and you're crapping on it.

    I think what's crap is the number of current students that care at all about the station. When I was in school visiting friends elsewhere, a lot of them listened to campus radio. Not here.

    Not sure I'd call something a tradition that has such a tiny fraction of current students listening and in your words takes getting older to appreciate.

  2. NM Green, Tulsa is to OK what NYC is to NY, so lots going on around Tulsa the weekend of the game like;

    Fall Fun at the Farm at Pocola, Haunted Castle Halloween Festival in Muskogee, A Candlelight Walking Tour in Doaksville and don't forget Reding Farm Maize & Fear Festival in Chickosha, but the event I'm taking my dog to is the Punpkin Palooza in Hobart!

    If the Cow Chip Throwing Contest or the State Prison Outlaw Rodeo aren't happening that weekend, then count me out!

  3. Isn't UNT's RTVF program relatively successful at producing talent in the industry? I suppose it's no USC, but it seems like they might have a pretty good idea what they are doing.

    If by "talent" you mean on-air people, then yes, but RTVF is a lot more than that. Most in the program want to be the next Kubrick and don't realize TV is the way to go to get a job, they felt TV and radio were beneath them. Of the people I was in the program with, the TV and radio people are doing pretty good, but the film people, not so much.

  4. Don't worry, nobody is listening.

    Before the -1's keep rolling in from KNTU's dedicated listeners (lol, really?), I think it's sad that the school's dedicated station picks up .1 or nothing at all in Arbitron, largely thanks to a format that guarantees almost no students listen to it. It should be turned into a college station instead of something that 0.7% of all DFW listens to.

    I agree, KNTU shouldn't be pandering to all 5 jazz listeners in the DFW area it should be a service first to the RTVF students and the University as a whole. It doesn't help the students when all they learn is how to be a DJ in a dead format and rip and read AP wires.
