KILR FM goes Kountry!

Ok, it won't be completely. But we are excited about our newest DJ to join the KILR Krew, and she's going to be hosting a Country show every Sunday night starting on May 1st. Kowgirl Katie Jackson joins us from Amarillo, TX, and she's bringing her stockpile of Country music and a heart full of love to share with all of you. Join her at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern as she takes you into the Heartland of America. It'll make for a nice end to your Sunday!

On the May Horizon

With the excitement of having Howlin' Wolfman back with us, I wanted to tell everyone that we have more exciting things to come that we are working on and people that we are negotiating with. I can't go into details just yet, but I will once we have official confirmation.

I can say that in May, we hope to have two more exciting programs running. We are currently in negotiations with another potential DJ who may be joining us in May. I can't say more than that, but it's hard to contain the excitement we have at KILR FM! Rest assured, though, that we have some huge goals ahead of us and many things planned. So stick with us through the excitement as we rebuild a great radio station.

Rocks, Metals, and Wolves

Great news, folks! We've been waiting eagerly for the past few weeks to announce this, but now we have official confirmation. We have a new DJ starting next week, and what's better is that he is one of our returning DJ's from KILR FM around 1990. Please welcome, Howlin' Wolfman!

Wolfman will be doing the same type of show he did in the old days. Straight-up Rock. It's great to have him back with us in our new digital form, and he'll be starting his show next Tuesday on 4/26 at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern and every following Tuesday. If you love rock, then you definitely don't want to miss his show!

A classic show from 1985 has been restored!

DJ Shepster has just informed me that another "Klassik KILR FM" episode has been completed, and this one dates back to March of 1985. He played some of it to me, and I was simply amazed by the editing that was done that really helped to clean up the original audio files.

DJ Shepster will be presenting these restored, classic episodes starting on Saturday, April 16 at 6pm PST / 9pm EST.

More hits and a new message board!

While DJ Shepster works on a lot of the programming aspects of KILR FM, I have been busy with all the internet grunt work.

I've been busy building a brand new message board for the radio station, so that everyone can chat with each other and listeners can join in and participate. I've also been working on some website updates, so that we now have links leading to our blog here and also to the new forum.

The promotional projects that I've been working hard on have been very positive. Yesterday we had over 60 new hits to the website, and today we have already gone over 100 new hits! Granted, not all of those visitors are tuning in. The point is that they are VISITING us. We ARE getting our name out there! We've broken some new records in our peak listeners this week, so it's just a matter of time until we get more dedicated listeners.

It's great news, because that's what we want. Listeners! We want the interaction with real people out there, and we want to fill that "niche" for people who are looking for a true, variety station.

One Vault show completed!

Awesome news! DJ Shepster has put the finishing touches on the very first Klassik KILR Vault show, and we hope to have that on the air soon. I've been told that he's nearing the completion of another old show from the past, and he's begun work on a third one!

Soon we'll get to hear what this radio station used to sound like back in the old days!

Schedule additions and programming

I've made some additions to the schedule, but chances are these won't be anything written in stone. For now, our evening programs are also on during the daytime to give everyone a chance to listen to my show, Shepster's 70's & 80's shows, and Radio Raymond.

Programming is an "art" all on it's own. The evening programs will most likely remain how they are, but the daytime ones may move around to different days and times as I try to find what works and where. The idea is to make the station interesting during the peak times that people tune into us, so that they'll want to come back and see what else we have.

That's why I mentioned that programming is an art. That's why TV Networks will move stuff all around to see what works and what doesn't. At times they don't know when to quit when they have a good thing. A lot of times, it's just "trial and error".

We still have some reserved spots up. One is for a new DJ that should be premiering this month, and the others are going to be dedicated to the Klassik KILR FM vault and another new program I am getting together.

Our banner ads are working!

We finally have people clicking on our banner ads that we have floating out there on the internet! This is awesome news, because it's just another form of getting our name out there in hopes of drawing people in to our little world at KILR FM. I believe we have a great station with a lot of potential, but we just need to get our name out there so that people know we are here. It's a challenge, but we're working on it!

Klassik KILR FM: Volume 1 #1 coming soon!

Today, work was done putting the pieces together on the very first show that aired on the radio station in 1984. Back then it was called "Radio 1990" with the call letters KKRY, also known as "K.R.Y. Under The Sun".

DJ Shepster will be putting the finishing touches on the production and remix of this very old show, and he'll be the one presenting these classic shows in the next week or so. Soon we'll get to hear the beginnings of the radio station and how it evolved into what it is today.

KILR Promoting and Production

Today on the KILR Blog,

I've been doing quite a lot of work for my internet radio station at KILR FM. One important piece of work is marketing and promotion. We've got to get our name out there! We want to let people know we exist and invite them to come to our side of the universe and listen to all the great variety of music that we have to offer! So how do we do that?

Banner Ads, for one. I already subscribed to one service, but today I subscribed to a couple more. I've got some animated banner ads about KILR FM already out there, so with two more services working for us it will help get our name out there further. Another way are the old fashioned webrings. Personally, I like webrings. It's a small little community that allows you to find some really neat sites on things that interest you that may be hard to find using a regular search engine. Hopefully others will feel the same way and find us that route. I've already got a Facebook and Twitter page going to help promote the station. I have a MySpace page, but I'd rather get a dedicated one set up just for the station. Other than that, there is this blog. People love to blog and read blogs, so we might as well write one up on all the stuff about our station? Why not?

The other work I've been doing involves my radio show, "Starrfoxx's Super Radio Show". My wife and I recently finished our 6th show. Today I began work on Shows 7, 8, and 9. I'll be taking a little time with these and doing more production on them every weekend, but I won't be rushing these. I've got other projects that I need to get going for the radio station also. Two of those projects involve a brand new DJ to get started in April and a KILR FM Klassik Vault of some of the old, original shows of the station that date back to 1984 when it was called "Radio 1990".

We've got fun stuff coming!
