DJ Halo, a community member at the station, offered an interesting perspective during his show 'Subways and Sidewalks' late Tuesday night.
'People won't listen just because they go to Fairfield; it's the DJ's own responsibility to promote their own show,' he said.

Yeshiva University Observer - The Future of WYUR: "Israel has had one. While the United States has not, Britain, Sri Lanka, India, Canada and a handful of other countries have. Now, to join the elite ranks of female leaders is Rachel Levinson, the first female station manager of Yeshiva University�s radio station, WYUR. In the past, the position has always gone to a Yeshiva College student for logistical reasons more so than for discriminatory ones. The radio station itself is situated on the Wilf Campus in the Schottenstein Cultural Center, making it more practical and easier for a YC student to be the station manager. �It had been an old boys� club for 25 years,� says Levinson regarding WYUR, �but my new board doesn�t think twice over the fact that I�m not part of the old boys� club.�"

Star says that record producers, record companies and rock bands that are currently touring America have been ordered to honor the White House blacklisting of Star and �Jets� or they will be placed on the same �Banned On America Radio� blacklist. With the help of Clear Channel and other American owned and Republican Party run radio station monoliths, these rovian tactics have proven effective. The American music community has turned a deaf ear to the most dramatic anti-Bush pop/rock song ever written and produced by an American citizen"
