JANUARY IS THE MONTH THAT CARES

January was Dive Under the Covers month on KJRW.  There were over 2 thousand visits to the station page at Live365.com.  Our rank amongst the rock stations held steady, but our overall rank slipped due to most people listening for free, instead of being VIP members.  But there were more streams launched in January than in December, and KJRW was made a preset station the most times since September.

People spent the most time listening in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Greece, Brazil, U.K., Hungary, Denmark, Croatia and Germany.  Inside the U.S., Alabama, Washington, California, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, Minnesota, Ohio, Arizona and Florida were tops in listening time.

KJRW will play love songs in mid-February.  Watch this blog to find out how to win a KJRW prize pack in the coming weeks.
