What is digitalBURG and what does it offer?

digitalBURG is the online home of student media at the University of Central Missouri (UCM). It brings together three student-run outlets in one place: Muleskinner for news, CentralTV for video, and The Beat for radio. If you want to follow UCM campus coverage, student-produced video, or listen to a student radio stream, digitalBURG is the hub that connects all three.

What digitalBURG covers

digitalBURG describes itself as "The home of UCM student media," and its content is organized around the three outlets named in its title:

Because these are student media operations, the content is produced by UCM students and aimed at the campus and the surrounding Warrensburg, Missouri community.

How to access The Beat radio

The site lists several ways to listen to The Beat, which is useful if radio is what you came for:

• Download the app — the site points to a mobile app for listening.
• Listen on the web — a browser-based stream.
• Stream through desktop — a desktop listening option.

The exact links and app store listings are on the site itself, so check the current options there rather than relying on a fixed URL.

Public notice and FCC filing

One item on the page is a public notice rather than regular content. It states that on December 06, 2023, the University of Central Missouri, as applicant for a new LPFM station at 100.3 in Warrensburg, Missouri, filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission for a new Low Power FM Station Construction Permit. The notice directs members of the public who want to view the application or learn how to file comments and petitions to the FCC website.

This matters if you are looking for official records about the station rather than student programming — the FCC is the place to go, not digitalBURG's own pages.

What to expect and what not to

• Expect student-produced work. News, video, and radio here come from UCM students, so the tone and scope reflect a campus newsroom rather than a professional national outlet.
• Expect a mix of formats. You can read, watch, or listen depending on which outlet you pick.
• Don't assume everything is free or open without checking. The site shows a "subscribe" signal, but the available information does not specify pricing, login requirements, or what a subscription includes. Verify on the site before assuming access terms.

If your goal is simply to understand what digitalBURG is: it is the shared online front door for UCM's student news, TV, and radio, with listening options for The Beat and public FCC notice information posted alongside the regular content.
