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.

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

New Wave Summer has given way to All Request Fall on KJRW.  There are several ways you can request a song:  email kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com, tweet it to @KJRWwestseattle, comment on this blog post, or send a message on our Facebook page.

Alas, All Request Fall and KJRW itself may come to an abrupt end on October 1st.  Our web host, Radionomy sent us an email stating that the station will be deleted if we do not meet their listening time requirements by the end of this month.  

We need a 60% increase in listening time or KJRW will end its 7-year run online.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Switzerland, Spain, Ecuador, Netherlands, and the U.K.  If you keep listening, we just might stay online.

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 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 (At the end of November)

KJRW begins its 7th year online on December 1st by getting Under the Covers!  Punk Bands covering Pop songs!  Punk Bands covering other Punk bands!

But how long will we stay online??  Radionomy will be checking our listening time again soon.  Right now, we are at 90% of the required hours.  Be sure to tune in today so that KJRW will still be around tomorrow!

It's Last Monday of the Month.  KJRW provides the picture round at the Shadowland Pub Quiz.  It's FREE to play.  Join us where California meets Oregon in West Seattle.

Thanks for listening in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Macedonia, Hungary, Mexico, Spain, Estonia, Italy, U.K., Australia, Thailand and Argentina.

Get Under the Covers with KJRW starting this Thursday, and all winter long...

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

OH HELL NOvember!  A month ago, we weren't sure if KJRW would make it to November, but we did with your help. Hope you enjoyed the Great PUNKin tunes the last half of October.  

The play button was hit over 8 thousand times in October!  Folks spent over 46 hundred hours listening in the U.S., Germany, Canada, France, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Estonia, Macedonia, Mexico, Uruguay, U.K., Netherlands, Singapore and Thailand.

Currently, we are 15% over Radionomy's listening requirements, but this is no time to relax. They may check in again on us next month, as we begin our 7th year online.

ALL Request FALL continues on KJRW.  Email your song requests now.

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

There are only a few days left until Radionomy decides the fate of KJRW.  And we're so close to fulfilling their listening time requirement.  Currently, we sit at 97%.  That is amazing, considering we only had 22% during the month of August. September was spectacular with 2,565 more listening hours than in the previous month.

KJRW listeners live on almost every continent.  Most are in the U.S., France, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Macedonia, Poland, U.K. and Spain.  You are all pulling together to keep KJRW online, and we love you for it.

The day of reckoning is the 8th.  Help us get that remaining 3% of listening time.

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.
