Thanks for checking out KJRW in the U.S., Germany, Canada, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, and Italy.


This Friday, get your fill of Foo on FOO FIGHTERS FRIDAY on KJRW!


All Request Fall begins Tuesday, September 4th on KJRW!  Comment here with your song requests or on our Facebook page.

IN BLOOM

During the month of April, you clicked the play button 13 hundred times and listened to KJRW for 17 hundred hours.Thanks for spending time with KJRW in the U.S., Germany, France, Sweden, Canada, Austria, New Zealand, Greece, Uruguay, Italy, Poland, and the U.K.

You put in the time, and you shall be rewarded with more music!  That's right, Radionomy decided we have enough listening time to give us more space for more songs.  More Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Stooges, Green Day, Joy Division, Jane's Addiction, and more.  We just doubled our Clash folder!  Our Spring Fling continues.  You're gonna love it.

PUNK ROCK WEEKEND

This weekend is a Punk Rock Weekend.

Nothing but Punk Rock all weekend long.

LISTEN

UNDER THE COVERS

KJRW's first week back online was excellent. Our radio web host expects us to average 30 hours of listening a day when we reach the 3-month mark.  We exceeded 30 hours every day!  Our average was 50 hours.  

However, Radionomy divided our time by 30 days instead of 7 and came up with an average of 17 hours a day.  It was enough to get us on their radar, though.  They decided we have enough listening to throw some ads onto KJRW.  Don't worry, you will still never be more than 2 minutes away from more Alternative/Punk Rock on KJRW.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Romania, and Canada!

When can you hear songs made popular by Nancy Sinatra, Britney Spears, Gloria Gaynor, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvis Presley, Missy Elliott, Prince, Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac on KJRW?
When those songs are covered by Alternative/Punk Rock bands.  Get Under the Covers with KJRW all month long.

WHAT'S GOING ON (in the middle of our last month)

KJRW - West Seattle

Listening time increased 9% in the past week! 

In order for KJRW to stay online after this month, listening time needs to double in the next 2 weeks. So, listen as much as you can, and tell your friends to check us out.

Keep those song suggestions coming for All Request Fall.

Thanks to all of you who sported the shirt over the years!  Get yours at the KJRW Corner Store!

WHAT'S GOING ON (at the Beginning of September)

New Wave Summer has given way to All Request Fall on KJRW.  There are several ways you can request a song:  email kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com, tweet it to @KJRWwestseattle, comment on this blog post, or send a message on our Facebook page.

Alas, All Request Fall and KJRW itself may come to an abrupt end on October 1st.  Our web host, Radionomy sent us an email stating that the station will be deleted if we do not meet their listening time requirements by the end of this month.  

We need a 60% increase in listening time or KJRW will end its 7-year run online.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Switzerland, Spain, Ecuador, Netherlands, and the U.K.  If you keep listening, we just might stay online.

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

Monday is the last Monday of the month, which means it's trivia time!  KJRW provides one last music category (Family Values) at the Shadowland Pub Quiz.  Come out and play the final KJRW crafted audio round Monday night at 8, where Oregon meets California in West Seattle.

Some of you took the challenge to listen to KJRW for ONE hour.  Consequently, listening time increased 15% in the past couple of weeks.  Hooray!

A little background on measuring listening:  Before the time of internet radio, TSL (Time Spent Listening) was measured by AQH (Average Quarter Hour).  If you listened to a station from 9:01 to 9:14 (13 minutes), the station would receive a rating based on 1 quarter hour.  If you listened to that station from 9:09 to 9:18 (9 minutes), the station would receive a rating based on 2 quarter hours.  You listened for a longer amount of time in the first case, but the station got a higher rating in the second case. This is why you never used to hear commercials at :15, :30, and :45 past the hour.  

With Internet radio, specifically Radionomy (our web host) listening time is measured by the hour.  It doesn't matter when you hit that play button, you have to stick around for at least an hour in order for your time to count.  If you listen for 55 minutes, it's as if you didn't listen at all.  It's not measured.

We appreciate whatever amount of time you spend with KJRW, but it only counts to Radionomy if you spend at least an hour at a time.

You have about a week left to listen to your new wave faves during New Wave Summer on KJRW.

All Request Fall begins September 5th!

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

Over 1500 people listened to KJRW the first half of August.  Most of that was during the first week.  Just 3 weeks left of the LAST New Wave Summer ever.  Catch it while you can.

All Request Fall begins after Labor Day Weekend.  There are several ways you can request a song  during the month of September:  email kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com, tweet it to @KJRWwestseattle, comment on this blog post, or send a message on our Facebook page.

WHAT's GOING ON (In the Middle of July)

KJRW is halfway through New Wave Summer.  We added a dozen more songs to our Punk and New Wave categories in the past couple of weeks.

Listening is currently at about 60%.  We have 2 1/2 months to get to 100%.  Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Poland, and Spain!

Listen to KJRW for FREE

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

New Wave Summer has begun on KJRW!  The Psychedelic Furs are playing as I type this note.  We're just a couple of weeks into June, but it is already shaping up to be a good month for the station.  People have spent almost 3 thousand hours listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Austria, and Greece.  Listening time is currently at 72%!  We may just make it to 100% by September...

WHAT'S GOING ON (At the End of May)

As May draws to a close, we are glad we scheduled Soundgarden to be the final Artist of the Day.  KJRW was saddened to learn of the loss of Chris Cornell on the 18th after a show in Detroit.  He had one of the strongest voices in rock.  May he be at peace.

KJRW has featured a different artist every day in May.  Over a thousand people heard them all.  Thanks for checking us out in the U.S., Germany, Canada, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Austria, Greece, U.K., Slovenia, Portugal, and Thailand.  Listening time rose to 45%.  We have 4 months to get to 100%.

NEW WAVE SUMMER begins later this week.  Listen for Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The Cure, New Order, Devo, Talking Heads, The Police, Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Tears for Fears, The B-52's, Psychedelic Furs, The Human League, The Smiths and more all summer long.

All your favorite Alternative and Punk Rock songs will be on, too.

So, catch the wave -- it'll be gnarly and totally tubular, dude!

WHAT'S GOING ON (In the middle of April)

We enjoyed Pearl Jam Day so much at KJRW, that we have decided to feature a different artist every day in May!  Each day in May, one of our favorite bands will be showcased.  Get the May Artist of the Day Greeting Card at the KJRW Corner Store to follow along.

Unfortunately, listening time has declined quite a bit this past week or so.  We are currently at 30%.  It would be great if we could double that by the end of April to get back on track.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, France, Canada, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland!

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

Hope you enjoyed all the love songs for Valentine's Day on KJRW.  We're staying Under the Covers for the rest of the month.  Join us, won't you?  Listening time needs a big boost in order to stay online.  We are currently at about 20% of our goal.  Tune in any time.  No registration necessary.  It's absolutely FREE to listen.  Tell a friend.

WHAT's GOING ON (at the end of 2016)

A year ago, we found out KJRW was losing its home on Live365.  We made the move to Radionomy in February.  It gave us more space for more songs and slightly better sound quality.  It allowed more people to listen to the station at the same time for free.  And you listened longer than ever!  However, it made it more difficult for you to give us feedback and rate the songs, so there is no Top 116 of 2016 song list to post or play.  

We are under the semi-constant threat of deletion from Radionomy.  There are listening hurdles we must jump every so often in order to stay online. We are at 57% of our current goal.  

We hope to reach our listening goals to keep providing the most awesome alternative rock in the air from Punk to Grunge and beyond in 2017.  Under the Covers continues all winter long.  And we're working on something special for spring.

As long as you keep listening, KJRW will stay online.

WHAT'S GOING ON (as 2016 comes to a close)

You'll hear Punked up Xmas tunes all week long on KJRW, as we continue our stay Under the Covers this winter.

We are currently at about 60% of our listening goal for the month of December.  There are less than 2 weeks left of the month.  Please help us increase listening by New Year's!

WHAT'S GOING ON (At the end of November)

KJRW begins its 7th year online on December 1st by getting Under the Covers!  Punk Bands covering Pop songs!  Punk Bands covering other Punk bands!

But how long will we stay online??  Radionomy will be checking our listening time again soon.  Right now, we are at 90% of the required hours.  Be sure to tune in today so that KJRW will still be around tomorrow!

It's Last Monday of the Month.  KJRW provides the picture round at the Shadowland Pub Quiz.  It's FREE to play.  Join us where California meets Oregon in West Seattle.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Macedonia, Hungary, Mexico, Spain, Estonia, Italy, U.K., Australia, Thailand and Argentina.

Get Under the Covers with KJRW starting this Thursday, and all winter long...

WHAT'S GOING ON (in the Middle of November)

There are a couple weeks left of All Request Fall on KJRW.  Email your song request to kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com.

The station has been checked out over 2 thousand times so far this month.  Listening is currently at the minimum to stay online.  Radionomy will be checking in on us again next month, so help us keep those listening hours up.

Our 7th year online begins next month!  Get Under the Covers once again this winter with KJRW.

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

OH HELL NOvember!  A month ago, we weren't sure if KJRW would make it to November, but we did with your help. Hope you enjoyed the Great PUNKin tunes the last half of October.  

The play button was hit over 8 thousand times in October!  Folks spent over 46 hundred hours listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Estonia, Macedonia, Mexico, Uruguay, U.K., Netherlands, Singapore and Thailand.

Currently, we are 15% over Radionomy's listening requirements, but this is no time to relax. They may check in again on us next month, as we begin our 7th year online.

ALL Request FALL continues on KJRW.  Email your song requests now.

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

There are only a few days left until Radionomy decides the fate of KJRW.  And we're so close to fulfilling their listening time requirement.  Currently, we sit at 97%.  That is amazing, considering we only had 22% during the month of August. September was spectacular with 2,565 more listening hours than in the previous month.

KJRW listeners live on almost every continent.  Most are in the U.S., France, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Macedonia, Poland, U.K. and Spain.  You are all pulling together to keep KJRW online, and we love you for it.

The day of reckoning is the 8th.  Help us get that remaining 3% of listening time.

WHAT'S GOING ON (in the middle of September)

All Request Fall is underway on KJRW.  You say it, we play it. Comment with a request or email it.

It is also that time of year we usually ask you to donate to our Go Fund Me page.  But we don't want your money this time.  This year we need something a little more precious in order to stay online -- your time.

If you want KJRW to stay online, you need to listen... a LOT.

Listening time has expanded 60% in just the last 2 weeks.  That's great.  But, we need it to be 43% higher in a few weeks than it is now or KJRW will be silenced.

So download the FREE Radionomy App for your phone or tablet,
or go to http://www.radionomy.com/en/radio/kjrw and spend some time with KJRW.

If just 55 more people spend one hour a day listening, we will meet our goal.
