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.

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.
