OCTOBER and KINGDOMS RISE and KINGDOMS FALL

Hope you enjoyed Punk Rock Weekend.  Listening time increased 13% in the past month!  You pushed the play button over 800 times and spent close to 3 thousand hours with KJRW.  Thanks for checking us out in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Australia, Ecuador, and Slovenia.

KJRW takes you Under the Covers once again on the weekend of the 20th.  It will be a weekend full of punk rock cover songs.

We're also sprinkling in some spooky songs leading up to Halloween.

All Request Fall continues on KJRW....


....for as long as Radionomy keeps us online.  They dropped us an email saying the ax will fall on the 28th if listening does not keep rising.  So, keep pressing that play button and tell your friends to do the same!

THE FIRST DAYS OF SPRING

Our Spring Fling got off to a slow start, but love began to bloom over the first Punk Rock Weekend ever on KJRW.  You pushed the play button 254 times on Saturday and Sunday to hear the Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols, and more.  Listeners spent one hundred more hours with KJRW on Punk Rock Weekend than the previous weekend.  We may have to do this again soon.

Folks have spent almost 8 hundred hours listening to KJRW during the first half of April.  Radionomy will be looking at our listening time at the end of this month to determine if they will give us more space for more songs or if they will drop us from the website.  It is up to YOU to keep KJRW online once again by listening.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., France, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Greece, Austria, Poland, New Zealand, Uruguay, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the U.K.

OUT LIKE MARY'S LITTLE LAMB

KJRW just transitioned from being Under the Covers to having a Spring Fling.  Listening time held steady in the month of March.  If we stay at this level, Radionomy will allow us to add even more songs at the end of April.  And we are itching to increase our total of tunes.  KJRW is playing stuff you haven't heard  in awhile to woo you into having a Spring Fling with us.  You're gonna love it!  Tell us what to play by commenting here, emailing, or posting to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

Thanks for listening to KJRW in the U.S., Germany, France, Canada, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Australia, Greece, U.K., Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Italy, Israel, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Hungary.
We are currently at 40% of our listening goal which must be achieved by this fall in order to stay online.  Click on KJRW April 1st to hear some foolish songs sprinkled into the playlist.  It's part of our Spring Fling because we like like you.

WHAT'S GOING ON (In the Middle of January)

People in the U.S., Germany, France, Canada, U.K., Poland, Spain, Hungary, Australia, Czech Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, Italy, Peru, and Israel are getting Under the Covers with KJRW.

Listening time is slowly creeping back up.  We are currently at 25% of where we need to be in 8 months, in order to not get deleted again.

Please continue to enjoy all the cover songs this winter on KJRW.  It's what we need to keep us warm.

WHAT'S GOING ON (at the end of March)

Over a thousand people checked out KJRW in March, and spent over a thousand hours listening.  We didn't quite reach the daily average listening time we were shooting for,  so please help us spread the word that KJRW is now on Radionomy.   People listened in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Finland, Australia and the U.K. the most.
April Fool's Day tradition at KJRW is to play songs not usually heard on the station.  In the past, there has been everything from disco to rap.  Tune in to see what happens this year!

WHAT'S GOING ON (at the beginning of 2016)

NOVEMBER

November was the last month of KJRW's third year online.  Over a thousand streams were launched - the most times the play button has been clicked since July.  However, people spent a little less time listening to KJRW than in October, so our rank slipped a bit.

Listeners spent the most time with KJRW in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Spain, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Australia and Italy.  Inside the U.S. listening was tops in Seattle, WA; Denver, Co; Montgomery, AL; Washington, DC; Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA; Minneapolis-Saint Paul, MN; Phoenix, AZ; Chicago, IL and Oklahoma City, OK.

KJRW began its fourth year online with a countdown of the Top 113 of 2013, all of your favorite songs from the past year.  Lots more to come in 2014, including a Dive Under the Covers this winter and New Wave Summer.  Make any theme or song suggestions here.

Thanks for listening and contributing to the fund drive to keep KJRW online!

NO CHRISTMAS IN JULY

There were over 2 thousand visits to the station page last month.  People pressed the play button on KJRW over eleven hundred times in July.  The most streams were launched in a few months.  So, our rank among all the rock stations on Live365 went up a couple notches.  The time VIP listeners spent with KJRW and the amount of people that made us a preset station was double that of June.   However, the average time spent listening to the station was the lowest ever, so our overall rank went down.

People spent the most time listening in the U.S., Mexico, Spain, Italy, Australia, Greece, U.K., Canada, Slovak Republic and Chile.

Our home base of Washington State was again tops in listening, as well as:  California, Georgia, New York, Texas, North Carolina, Missouri, Alabama, Arizona and Connecticut.

Do us a favor?  When you check out the KJRW station page on Live365.com, hit the play button and give us a listen.

COME WHAT MAY

KJRW reached a few milestones in May.  Near the end of the month, we saw that over 25 thousand streams had been launched, people had spent over 21 thousand hours listening, and there had been over 27 thousand  visits to the station page on Live365.com.  In fact, May saw the most visits to the station page ever.  However, listening time lessened.  Consequently, KJRW's rank dipped down to where it was at the beginning of the year.

Listening to KJRW the most were people in the U.S., Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Uruguay, Spain, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates.  Inside the U.S., people spent the most time listening in Seattle (WA), San Francisco (CA), Montgomery (AL), Los Angeles (CA), Minneapolis (MN), Chicago (IL), Lansing (MI), Albuquerque (NM), Atlanta (GA) and West Palm Beach (FL).

KJRW celebrates "Women Who Rock" in June.  And New Wave Summer crashes in soon!

IDES OF MARCH

We know we are well into April, but will still take a look back at March.  The bad news was that KJRW was made a preset station the least number of times ever in a month.  However, the rest of the news is all good.  More streams were launched in March than February.  People spent more time listening to KJRW.  Our rank rose among not only the rock stations, but all the stations on Live365.  KJRW had the most visits to the station page since it was created in 2010 (well over 2 thousand in one month)!

Here is where people listened to KJRW in March:

Italy + Canada + Spain + Australia + Slovenia + Sweden + Germany + Slovak Republic + Argentina + United States (Washington + California + Alabama + Illinois + North Carolina + New Jersey + Michigan + Ohio + Nevada + Texas)

JANUARY HYMN

KJRW has started to climb out of that hole that was December.  Fewer folks are visiting the station page on Live365.com and pressing that play button.  However, those that do are listening longer, so our rank is slowly creeping back up.  We did hit the milestone of 19 thousand page visits in January.  People were listening in these countries:

• United States
• Canada
• Slovenia
• Italy
• Australia
• Austria
• Mexico
• Brazil
• Chile
• Slovak Republic

and inside the U.S.:

• Seattle, WA
• Montgomery, AL
• San Francisco, CA
• Chicago and Springfield, IL
• Detroit, MI
• New York, NY
• Cleveland, OH
• Dallas, TX
• Boston, MA

A LONG DECEMBER

On December 2nd, KJRW reached its highest rank ever among the thousands of stations on Live365.com.  It was all downhill from there.  We went off the listening cliff.  Time spent listening in December was half of what it was in November.  But, November was huge.  It was the best month KJRW enjoyed in the two years it has been online.  However, December did top November in the number of times the station page was visited and how many people made KJRW a preset station (that is like when you assign a button on your car radio to a certain station).

Here are the countries that are still listening to KJRW:

• U.S.
• Canada
• S. Africa
• Australia
• Brazil
• Germany
• Italy
• Slovenia
• Mexico
• Slovak Republic

Tops in listening inside the U.S. are:

• California
• Washington
• Illinois
• Alabama
• Ohio
• New York
• Pennsylvania
• Michigan
• North Carolina
• Colorado

KJRW has just begun its third year on Live365.com and hopes for more months like November, when people spent over twelve hundred hours listening to the station.  Songs are being added to the mix every week.  Your suggestions are always appreciated at kjrw@comcast.net.  If you like what you hear on KJRW, please spread the word.  Have a great 2013!

COLD WIND IN AUGUST

KJRW did set some records in August, but nothing to brag about.  People spent the least time listening to the station since it launched at the end of 2010.  The play button was pressed the fewest amount of times.  Some still listened to KJRW in:

• U.S.
• Israel
• Italy
• Canada
• Germany
• Mexico
• South Africa
• Australia
• Brazil
• Portugal

Inside the U.S., these places were tops in listening:

• Seattle, WA
• Raleigh-Durham, NC
• San Antonio, TX
• Los Angeles, CA
• Manchester, NH
• Pittsburgh, PA
• Cleveland, OH
• Detroit, MI
• Phoenix, AZ
• Norfolk, VA

Maybe KJRW fans were on vacation.  It seems as if the audience has been coming back over the past week.  Let's hope it's better in September.  New Wave Summer ends soon.  Preparations have begun for the Top 112 of 2012 countdown.
