WHAT'S GOING ON (At the End of May)

As May draws to a close, we are glad we scheduled Soundgarden to be the final Artist of the Day.  KJRW was saddened to learn of the loss of Chris Cornell on the 18th after a show in Detroit.  He had one of the strongest voices in rock.  May he be at peace.

KJRW has featured a different artist every day in May.  Over a thousand people heard them all.  Thanks for checking us out in the U.S., Germany, Canada, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Austria, Greece, U.K., Slovenia, Portugal, and Thailand.  Listening time rose to 45%.  We have 4 months to get to 100%.

NEW WAVE SUMMER begins later this week.  Listen for Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The Cure, New Order, Devo, Talking Heads, The Police, Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Tears for Fears, The B-52's, Psychedelic Furs, The Human League, The Smiths and more all summer long.

All your favorite Alternative and Punk Rock songs will be on, too.

So, catch the wave -- it'll be gnarly and totally tubular, dude!

WHAT'S GOING ON (At the beginning of May)

 KJRW will feature a different artist every day this month!

A reason to listen every day in May.

Time spent listening in April fell to 28%.  Our hope was to achieve at least 57% to be on pace to reach 100% in 5 months.  People did spend over 11 hundred hours with KJRW in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Spain, Poland, Austria, and Italy.

It's still cold, cloudy, and rainy in Seattle, but New Wave Summer is right around the corner...

Speaking of corners, be sure to visit the KJRW Corner Store for stuff with the  Little Lex Logo!

WHAT'S GOING ON (In the middle of April)

We enjoyed Pearl Jam Day so much at KJRW, that we have decided to feature a different artist every day in May!  Each day in May, one of our favorite bands will be showcased.  Get the May Artist of the Day Greeting Card at the KJRW Corner Store to follow along.

Unfortunately, listening time has declined quite a bit this past week or so.  We are currently at 30%.  It would be great if we could double that by the end of April to get back on track.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, France, Canada, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland!

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

KJRW is now enjoyed on almost every continent on the globe!  Tops in listening were:  the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, Brazil, France, Belarus and the U.K. 

In fact, folks are spending the most time listening to KJRW than ever!  We met our goal for April with about 1700 hours.  We would like to see 2 thousand hours for the month of May.  Tomorrow is our program director's birthday.  A really wonderful birthday present would be the greatest listening time in the station's history.  

Listen to KJRW

MEN ARE APRIL WHEN THEY WOO

Now that we are midway through May, let's talk about April.  Ahhh April, when there was only one day without a deejay.  More people listened on this April Fool's Day than on any other we have endured on KJRW.  And it was all uphill from there!





The play button was pressed over 12 hundred times.  The KJRW page at Live365.com was visited over 2 thousand times.  People spent the most time listening since the station was created!  Consequently, KJRW achieved the highest rank among all the stations on Live365 ever!

COME WHAT MAY

KJRW reached a few milestones in May.  Near the end of the month, we saw that over 25 thousand streams had been launched, people had spent over 21 thousand hours listening, and there had been over 27 thousand  visits to the station page on Live365.com.  In fact, May saw the most visits to the station page ever.  However, listening time lessened.  Consequently, KJRW's rank dipped down to where it was at the beginning of the year.

Listening to KJRW the most were people in the U.S., Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Uruguay, Spain, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates.  Inside the U.S., people spent the most time listening in Seattle (WA), San Francisco (CA), Montgomery (AL), Los Angeles (CA), Minneapolis (MN), Chicago (IL), Lansing (MI), Albuquerque (NM), Atlanta (GA) and West Palm Beach (FL).

KJRW celebrates "Women Who Rock" in June.  And New Wave Summer crashes in soon!
