URL Radio<br />
Movin’ and Groovin’<br />
URL Radio is on the move. They have<br />
moved their station across town, added<br />
more programs and taken the station<br />
on the road, in more ways than one.<br />
First off, URL Radio is now located at 1315 E.<br />
Front Ave., Bismarck, next to Impressions by<br />
Ashley Lynn. The owners, Stacy Sturm and Nicole<br />
Morrison-Mathern, are very excited about the<br />
new space. “It’s so cool ‘cause we’re finally able to<br />
decorate,” said Morrison-Mathern.<br />
With their new location, Sturm and Morrison-<br />
Mathern want to thank those who have been<br />
with them from their humble beginning at the<br />
Kirkwood Mall. “We will always remember our<br />
roots and the people who believed in us from the<br />
beginning,” said Morrison-Mathern. They make<br />
sure they show it too. When they have space, Sturm<br />
and Morrison-Mathern feature extra ads for their<br />
loyal supporters.<br />
URL continues to add more programs to their<br />
line-up. Shake It Up With Lil’ Miss Molly and Nikki<br />
Martini, starring Molly Sullivan and Morrison-<br />
Mathern, aired in September. They also added a<br />
N.D. Teen Challenge show on Sunday mornings,<br />
and The Details With Anastasia on Friday nights.<br />
The Details is a music-based show featuring local<br />
and national music, along with artist interviews.<br />

Sturm and Morrison-Mathern have also given time<br />
to radio students at the University of Mary. The<br />
students’ shows can be heard from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.<br />
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These<br />
shows cover sports, college issues and various other<br />
topics.<br />
U Rock Lately has taken the show on the road.<br />
Every Monday, they do live lunches at various<br />
restaurants and businesses around town. So far,<br />
they’ve broadcast live from: Smoothie Operator,<br />
Erbert and Gerbert’s and Nibbles and Brunch.<br />
They also took their show live to Sturgis, where it<br />
was such a success that event promoters have been<br />
contacting URL and asking them to do live shows<br />
at their events.<br />
The station also organized its first beer run/<br />
rock/crawl on Oct. 17. It involved a run around<br />
Sertoma Park, complete with beer refills at each<br />
pit stop. The event concluded with a party at the<br />
Bismarck Elks.<br />
URL Radio is on the move, and hopes to make<br />
things more convenient for listeners who are also<br />
on the move. Anywhere with Internet access, log<br />
on to urlradio.net, and listen live or watch past<br />
broadcasts on YouTube. You never know, the music<br />
might even make you move a little too.<br />
