OUT LIKE MARY'S LITTLE LAMB

KJRW just transitioned from being Under the Covers to having a Spring Fling.  Listening time held steady in the month of March.  If we stay at this level, Radionomy will allow us to add even more songs at the end of April.  And we are itching to increase our total of tunes.  KJRW is playing stuff you haven't heard  in awhile to woo you into having a Spring Fling with us.  You're gonna love it!  Tell us what to play by commenting here, emailing, or posting to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

Thanks for listening to KJRW in the U.S., Germany, France, Canada, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Australia, Greece, U.K., Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Italy, Israel, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Hungary.
We are currently at 40% of our listening goal which must be achieved by this fall in order to stay online.  Click on KJRW April 1st to hear some foolish songs sprinkled into the playlist.  It's part of our Spring Fling because we like like you.

IN LIKE A GOLD LION

Hello and welcome to March!  

Taking a look at our first month back online, KJRW has a stronghold on North America and Europe.  We have even infiltrated the Middle East and South America.  Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, France, Austria, Canada, Guatemala, Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Romania, and the U.K.

We beat our listening goal by 30% in February!  Keep listening because we are still 63% away from our ultimate listening goal, which we have to reach by the end of October.


Near the end of this month, we begin our Spring Fling.  We will stretch our musical muscles this spring by adding songs you haven't heard lately.  You can send your song requests to kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com, post them on our Facebook page, or Tweet at us.  While we're on the subject of social media, we just created an Instagram page.

Get Under the Covers with KJRW for a few more weeks...

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

We have not received the official word from Radionomy, but it looks like we have enough listening hours to stay online in April.  You checked us out over 16 hundred times in March, and spent over 19 hundred hours with KJRW.  That means we are about halfway to reaching our ultimate goal.  Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland.

Something funny is going on all day today on KJRW.  Listen for songs you will only hear on April 1st.

On April 7th, KJRW celebrates the induction of Pearl Jam into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Pearl Jam songs every hour next Friday.

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

Happy Spring!  Almost 3 weeks into March, listening has gone up 26%.  That brings us almost halfway to our ultimate goal.  Thanks for spending time with KJRW in the U.S., Germany, France, and Canada!

We invite you to share some laughs with us on April Fool's Day, when we'll sprinkle some novelty songs into the mix.  It's no joke - if you don't listen in March, KJRW won't be online in April.  Radionomy checks in on us at the end of the month.

KJRW celebrates Pearl Jam's induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame on April 7th by playing Pearl Jam every hour.  From the Rock Hall:  "The 32nd Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will take place on Friday, April 7, 2017 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for the third time....Propelled by the hits “Alive” and “Jeremy” (about a high school student’s suicide), Ten sold over 13 million copies in America, launching a singular career of enduring commercial success (ten Top Five studio albums, half of them Number Ones) and staunch idealism. In the mid-Nineties, Pearl Jam challenged monopolistic practices in the concert-ticket industry; in 2000, they took the live-tape-sharing aesthetic to a new fan-friendly extreme, initiating a series of soundboard-quality live releases from every show – a now-common practice among bands big and new. Pearl Jam have also collaborated extensively – as a group and individuals, on stage and records – with a long list of inspirations including Neil Young, the Who and the Ramones. Twenty-five years after Ten, Pearl Jam are still one of the most reliably explosive, vigorously committed and truly modern rock bands in the world.

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

One week into March, listening has increased 8%.  Let's keep it going!  If we stay at this pace, Radionomy will keep KJRW online at the end of the month.

Those rascals at Radionomy have mislabeled a Ramones song in our playlist.  The first listener that discovers this mistake and emails us at kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com with the correct title and what it was changed to will win a crisp one hundred dollar bill!

KJRW goes green this St. Patrick's Day, playing a Green Day song every hour!  Listen for all the hits, deeper cuts, mashups, and covers from Green Day on the 17th.

WHAT'S GOING ON (at the End of February)

We're sad to report listening dropped to 21% of our goal during February.  There needs to be a huge increase in March because Radionomy will be checking in on us at the end of the month.

People spent the most time with KJRW in the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, Greece, Italy, and Mexico.

This Spring, KJRW is gonna get out from Under the Covers and Tighten Up.  KJRW Goes Green on March 17th, with songs from Green Day every hour.

And if we get enough listening hours in March, not only will we get to stay online for another six months, but we will be given the space to add a bunch more songs.

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

Over a thousand people checked out KJRW in March, and spent over a thousand hours listening.  We didn't quite reach the daily average listening time we were shooting for,  so please help us spread the word that KJRW is now on Radionomy.   People listened in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Finland, Australia and the U.K. the most.
April Fool's Day tradition at KJRW is to play songs not usually heard on the station.  In the past, there has been everything from disco to rap.  Tune in to see what happens this year!

WHAT'S GOING ON (in the beginning of March)

March has come in like a lion, with a bunch of technical difficulties from Radionomy.  Songs were repeated over and over and there was dead air for many hours.  It was as frustrating for us as it was to you, we are sure.  It seems that we are back on course now. (We hope!)

KJRW's first month on Radionomy went pretty well.  We uploaded close to 7 hundred songs by over a hundred  different artists.  Our audience grew steadily through February, as we lingered Under the Covers.  Close to a thousand streams were launched.  People spent almost 12 hundred hours listening in:

1. U.S.A.
2. Canada
3. Sweden
4. France
5. Brazil
6. U.K.
7. Japan
8. Mexico
9. Italy
10. Serbia

Help us reach our goal of adding 10 more hours of listening per day by the end of March.  Share the station on Facebook and Twitter.  Or do it the old fashioned way and talk to to a friend about KJRW.  If you enjoy it, they may also.

Listen for Green Day every hour on St. Patrick's Day!

And stay tuned to learn how you could win cold, hard cash from KJRW...

At a recent bed-in at the KJRW studios (It's a thing.  See: John and Yoko.), it was decided that it was time to come out from Under the Covers. And since March is Women in History month, KJRW honors  Women Who Rock.

Let's take a quick look back at February.  As you may recall, January was the best month ever for KJRW.  We kept the momentum going in February.  Even though our rank clicked down a couple notches due to a few less streams being launched, the average amount of time people spent listening to the station was the highest ever. In other words, a slightly smaller amount of people pressed the play button, but when they did they stuck around longer.  And you know, "the longer you listen, the more songs you hear".

People listened the most in the U.S., Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Poland, Germany, Republic of Korea and Italy.  Inside the U.S., listeners spent the most time with KJRW in our home base of Seattle, WA; Dallas, TX; Cincinnati, OH; Los Angeles, CA; Tampa, FL; Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; Denver, CO; New York, NY and Beaumont, TX.

Your favorite songs at the end of February included 4 Get Under the Covers tunes:

1. My Generation - Green Day
2. Radar Love - Ministry
3. Merchandise - Fugazi
4. House of the Rising Sun - Adolescents
5. Underground - Sneaker Pimps
6. Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees
7. Violet - Hole
8. Sheena Is A Punk Rocker - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
9. The Hardest Button To Button - White Stripes
10. Bittersweet Symphony - Verve

MARCH INTO THE SEA

We made it through another April Fool's Day.  There were actually some cool 60's songs.  And more people tuned in than on any previous April 1st.  We may try to go a whole month without a DJ and see how that sounds.

Now as for March, our rank slipped a little bit due to people listening for free a little less.  VIP's were pressing the play button a bunch more, though.  Over 11 hundred streams were launched during last month.  There were a couple hundred more visits to the station page on Live365.com than in February.  KJRW was made a preset station the most times in March than in the past year.

People spent the largest amount of time listening in the U.S., Canada, China, Spain, Australia, U.K., Thailand, Colombia, Sweden and France.  Inside the U.S., Washington, Illinois, California, Alabama, Texas, Ohio, Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina and Georgia were tops in listening.

IDES OF MARCH

We know we are well into April, but will still take a look back at March.  The bad news was that KJRW was made a preset station the least number of times ever in a month.  However, the rest of the news is all good.  More streams were launched in March than February.  People spent more time listening to KJRW.  Our rank rose among not only the rock stations, but all the stations on Live365.  KJRW had the most visits to the station page since it was created in 2010 (well over 2 thousand in one month)!

Here is where people listened to KJRW in March:

Italy + Canada + Spain + Australia + Slovenia + Sweden + Germany + Slovak Republic + Argentina + United States (Washington + California + Alabama + Illinois + North Carolina + New Jersey + Michigan + Ohio + Nevada + Texas)
