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

Monday night's Shadowland Pub Quiz was rockin' and raucous. Rico walked away with the fan-made KJRW T-shirt for correctly guessing the lyrics: "You said irony was the shackles of youth" belonged to a song by R.E.M. (What's the Frequency, Kenneth?). We thank Scott M.X. for letting us invade his quiz show the last Monday of every month.  Scott hosts the Shadowland Pub Quiz in West Seattle Monday nights at 8.

The station's rank climbed a few notches in August. We hit the milestone of 70 thousand visits to the KJRW station page at Live365.com.  There were almost 2 thousand visits in August alone.

AN AUGUST THEME

KJRW's rank among all the stations on Live365 climbed almost 200 places in August.  There were over 2400 visits to the station page.  The average stretch of time people listened to KJRW was the highest this year.  Live365 VIP members listened the most since March.  The only thing we did not see an increase in was the number of streams launched.  The problem with that could possibly be that only so many people can listen for free at a time.  Sometimes the station is "full".  The way around that is to become a Live365 VIP.  You will be able to listen commercial-free whenever you want.  Part of the subscription price will pay artist royalties, and part will go to KJRW to help keep us online.  Click VIP.

During the month of August, people were listening to KJRW the most in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, Australia, Peru and the U.K.  Inside the U.S., people listened the most in Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Montgomery, AL; Raleigh-Durham, NC; Wausau-Rhinelander, WI; Baltimore, MD; Phoenix, AZ and Jacksonville, FL.

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.

V.I.P.

The other day in New York, a man was trying to listen to KJRW on Live365.com.  Each time he clicked the play button, he was greeted with the message that the station was full.  You see, there can only be so many people listening to a station on Live365 for free at one time. 

But when you are a Live365 VIP, you can access the station anytime.  So that music lover in New York did just that.  He signed up to be a VIP from the KJRW station page.  Now he can listen commercial-free for a year.  And KJRW received part of the subscription fee, which will help us stay online.  Another portion of that subscription fee will go to the artists that get played on the station. 

VIP's may also download a Live365 desktop player that allows you to listen without opening your web browser.  Packages start at about 6 dollars a month.  If you are interested, click here:  http://www.live365.com/rewards/pm?tag=member_10222739915.

NOVEMBER REIGN

KJRW's second year ended on a good note.  November saw more streams launched than ever.  People spent the most time listening, including those with paid subscriptions to Live365.  (KJRW gets a penny for every 3 hours a VIP listens.)  Our rank was the highest it's been among the hundreds of rock stations and thousands of stations of every genre on Live365.com.

JUNE IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER

KJRW has reached its highest rank ever among the thousands of stations on Live365.com!  We're in the top 5% among all stations and in the top 3% among rock stations.  This is because people spent more time listening to KJRW in June than ever before.  Most of those people were also "VIP"s, which means I will get a penny for every 3 hours they listened.  Some cool things about being a Live365 VIP include being able to listen commercial-free and that part of the subscription fee goes to the artists that write the songs that get played.  Click here http://www.live365.com/rewards/pm?tag=member_10222739915 if you are interested in becoming a VIP.  Sign up by that link and they'll throw a few bucks my way.
