WHAT'S GOING ON (in the middle of September)

All Request Fall is underway on KJRW.  You say it, we play it. Comment with a request or email it.

It is also that time of year we usually ask you to donate to our Go Fund Me page.  But we don't want your money this time.  This year we need something a little more precious in order to stay online -- your time.

If you want KJRW to stay online, you need to listen... a LOT.

Listening time has expanded 60% in just the last 2 weeks.  That's great.  But, we need it to be 43% higher in a few weeks than it is now or KJRW will be silenced.

So download the FREE Radionomy App for your phone or tablet,
or go to http://www.radionomy.com/en/radio/kjrw and spend some time with KJRW.

If just 55 more people spend one hour a day listening, we will meet our goal.
