New Fusion HD3 Site
Fusion HD3 is Utah State University’s full-time radio station ran entirely by students. In partnership with Utah Public Radio, USU students are able to provide Cache Valley with quality, college format radio on UPR’s third HD channel of 89.5 & 91.5. Now we have a new site up for Fusion (radio.usu.edu), its looking a bit different. We are beginning to migrate from the old Joomla, to a new fancy Wordpress Blog. We hope to keep everything running nice and smooth as we start the move. Please bare with us as we get everything set up for you, but please, by all means, have a look. We hope you like what you see.
CARS
Donating a car (or more than one) is an excellent way to get rid of old vehicles you don't want. The biggest problem most people face when buying a new vehicle: what to do with the old one. Utah Public Radio has partnered with CARS as part of a vehicle donation program. By donating a car you receive a tax deduction, support UPR and help someone in the community. Visit CARS homepage to find out more information, or go straight to the CARS/UPR donation page to donate your car now. If you prefer to be contacted by phone, please call 877-UPR-7501 or 877-877-7501 and a representative will help you with your donation.
UPR on your iPhone
You can now take UPR with you wherever you go. American Public Media has created a new app called Public Radio Tuner which allows you to tune into over 150 public radio stations across the country, including UPR.
The Public Radio Tuner works on all iPhones and iPod Touches that have a live Internet connection, either via WiFi or 3G or EDGE. Some station streams with high bit rates will perform best when using a WiFi or 3G connection. Streams that are 64k or lower will play with any connection, including EDGE. UPR streams at 128k so you can receive optimal audio quality, but still be able to listen wherever you go.
What you'll need:
Download the app, plug in you iPhone or iPod Touch and iTunes will take care of the rest.

We continue our series, "Pushing the Boundaries: Utah's New Immigration Law" with a look at how Senate Bill 81 could affect Utah's estimated 110,000 undocumented workers and -- as KUER's Jenny Brundin reports -- hundreds of Utah employers.
