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 beginning of July)

NEW WAVE SUMMER IS A HIT! Listening time has increased since New Wave Summer began on KJRW on June 22nd.  The average length of each stream launched in June was the highest since February.  More people visited the station page during the month of June than in any given month in the past couple years. Listeners added KJRW to their favorite lists more times than in the previous two months.  Consequently, the station's rank climbed.

VIPs spent more time listening than they did in May.  That puts a few pennies in our pockets. Speaking of VIP... If you sign up for a 12-month membership on the Fourth of July, you will receive an additional 4 months FREE. Click here.

People listened the most in the U.S., Belarus, Canada, Spain, France, Brazil, New Zealand, Switzerland, the U.K., and Peru. Listening in the U.S. was tops in our home of Seattle, Washington (as usual). Texas came in second due to 3 cities spending time with KJRW: San Antonio, Dallas and El Paso.  Other hot spots were Tampa, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Albany, New York; Detroit, Michigan; and San Francisco, California.

JUNE ON THE WEST COAST

KJRW celebrated Women Who Rock during the month of June, to coincide with the opening of the Women Who Rock exhibit at the EMP Museum in Seattle Center.  We thought it sounded great, but not many people heard it.  The least number of streams were launched of the past year.  The average amount of time listeners spent with KJRW increased a tiny bit since the last couple months, but our rank has slipped.

People were listening in the U.S., Spain, Italy, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Uruguay, Slovenia, and Chile the most.

Inside the U.S., people listened to KJRW regularly in Washington, California, Alabama, North Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Arizona, New Jersey and Nebraska.

Enjoy Independence Day in the U.S., and New Wave Summer on KJRW!
