Schedule changes and our plans for 2013!

Hey KILR listeners!

Thanks for tuning in and making KILR Radio a fun and great radio station. It's all about you the listeners, and we appreciate you tuning in and sending the wonderful feedback back to us.

You may have noticed some slight scheduling changes. The morning "KILR Live" mix has changed its start time from 3am to 5am Pacific. This gives our overnight listeners an opportunity to listen to the "KILR Variety Mix" which is commercial supported through Live365. It's a different mix of music than what we do on "KILR Live" where much of the music is the same, but we have much that is different since we mix in many independent artists. "KILR Live" now runs for six hours from 5-11am Pacific Time to make room for another scheduling change...

"KILR Hitz"! Ah, yes. This is our Live version of our Sister Station, which plays nothing but #1 hits from around the world on many, many charts. Our international listeners love it, so we are bringing it to you Monday through Friday from 11am to Noon Pacific Time. It's a fantastic springboard into what we already have established as our "Mid-day Program" from Noon to 2pm Monday through Friday.

The "Mid-day Program" includes:

• The Killer 70's Show on Monday
• The Killer 80's Show on Tuesday
• Starrfoxx's Super Radio Show on Wednesday
• Howlin' Wolfman's KILR Rock Show on Thursday

... and Friday will be discussed shortly.

So what's coming in 2013?

Oh, we've got some fun and great things coming! We are planning on a "Morning Show" that will take our existing "KILR Live" mix and add some fun to it with a DJ duo team. So, you'll still get the same great music mix from 1901-Today, but you'll also have some DJ's to interact with as well!

And what's a Morning Show without an Afternoon Show? Yep, we have a three hour block of music in the afternoon that is just waiting for another DJ team to spice it up with some fun. And no doubt, it's going to be an interesting "Jeckyl" to the Morning Show's "Hyde".

And what about an Evening Show? Oh, that's in the works too! We may not see those until the end of next year, because our focus is on filling the Morning and Afternoons with some fun shows. But we DEFINITELY have some fun ideas we are toying around with for an evening DJ show. And have no fear; we are not going to cancel the late night shows we currently have going such as Monday Night Jazz, Wednesday Night KILR Hitz Live, and Thursday Night KILR Klassik Rock.

We mentioned Friday. Have you noticed we don't have a Mid-day show for Friday? That's because we have something special planned, and we hope to have it started sometime in early 2013 as well.

And what about "KSIM Radio"? It's not going anywhere folks, so don't worry Sim Fans! It'll soon become the show that springboards into the Afternoon Show.

And don't forget about all the interesting programs we have on the weekends! Many times we'll surprise you with a themed weekend such as an 80's Weekend, KILR Hitz Weekend, or we might even let "KSIM Radio" take over for the weekend. We will say that we are seriously due for a "60's Weekend". So if you love the 1960's, then you'll want to check back with us often. Got a feeling it'll be playing soon!

Fun times are ahead! With all of these great programs, it'll be hard to get bored with KILR Radio. We have different shows, different DJs, and a completely different character and personality than what you'll find on other internet stations. It's not just about music, but it's about having fun and spending time together!

Thanks again for tuning in and making KILR Radio not just an awesome station, but a KILLER radio station!

KILR Radio prepares you for the holidays.

KSIM Radio, Monday Nite Jazzin', and new Power Albums

We've been making some updates and additions to our station which will add more flavor and variety to what we play each week.

Our biggest edition is KSIM Radio. It originally was a separate station that we tested out for a month on Live365. During that time, we were able to develop some artistic ideas to make it an even better station broadcasted live. Although we present this to you as a one hour show on a few days throughout the week, it was designed to be a station all on its own.

KSIM Radio currently has over 1500 music tracks covering the many of the games from "The Sims" series of games to include The Sims 1, 2, 3, expansion and stuff packs, SimCity 1-4, SimCity Societies, SimCopter, SimTown, SimAnt, Streets of SimCity, SimEarth, The Sims: Pet Stories & Castaway, Urbz, The Sims Bustin' Out, MySims and other games on the consoles from The Sims, The Sims Online, The Sims Social, and Spore. In addition, we've expanded the term "sim" to include other simulation type games such as music from Flight Simulator X, Age of Empires 1-3, and Civilization. Our collection will continue to grow as we go through other games in these series to include various versions on other computer platforms where the music sounded different.

In addition to music, we have a special station ID created for KSIM radio, voice-overs before commercial breaks, and then humorous advertisements taken from SimCopter and Streets of SimCity. We also have retro commercials from some of these "sim" games to bring back those old memories.

It's a lot of fun, and we've put quite a lot of work into it. It can certainly stand on its own, and we recently had a KSIM Radio weekend. If you love the game and series, computer games, or just want to hear something different, then check out KSIM Radio. It airs every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2-3pm Pacific Time.


Our other updates to the station include a new, Jazz show on Monday nights. Many of the music we'll play will be from talented, independent artists. It sets the mood for Monday nights even further, since we already have The Jazzin' 20's playing from 6-7pm Pacific. Our new show, Monday Nite Jazzin' will air from 7-11pm Pacific.

We have four new power albums added to our rotation of ten albums with all of the tracks put into high rotation.

• The Doors - The Doors
• Hall & Oates - H2O
• Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
• Aerosmith - Rocks

We have some more albums planned soon! Keep it KILR!

KILR Television on YouTube

We've expanded KILR Radio to include another medium -- video! Why?

Video would be an excellent medium to use to introduce our listeners to the KILR Universe that we live in. Learn about the DJ's and staff behind KILR Radio, watch video promos, interviews, documentaries, advertisements for products and services in the KILR Universe, and even watch a movie or television serial.

Our channel is on YouTube, and it will include original content from our world to yours. For more information, visit our website or you can search KILR Radio on YouTube.

The Killer 70's Show returns!

It's been a work in progress for awhile, but DJ Shepster is ready to bring back his Killer 70's Show to KILR Radio.

As before, he'll be airing on Mondays although the time will now be at Noon Pacific which parallels his Killer 80's Show at the same time on Tuesdays. Shepster now has a much wider mix of music from the 1970's along with fun facts about the decade to share with you. It'll be a live and commercial free two hour show, and afterwards we'll air a one hour segment of KILR Hitz Live with all-time #1 hits from around the world.

Add some musical fun to your afternoons!

Peaceman Pete Returns!

Peaceman Pete returns to KILR Radio!

Pete had his 1960's comeback show tonight, and it turned out great! We're glad to have him back on the air with us, chillin', and sharing all of his fond memories of the 60's. He's got a great mix of music that will be hard to find elsewhere.

Pete has decided to take his chillin' to another level and is only going to his one hour show on Friday nights at 6pm Pacific. Doing it four times a week was a bit much for him, and Pete says he can focus on putting out more fun and laid back show on Friday instead.

It's a great show to chill out with when you are home on Fridays!

Time to start rotating in new power albums!

Yes, it's time to start rotating some of these albums out of our high rotation and replace them with new ones. Some of these we have had up for a few months while still broadcasting with Loudcaster. That being said, we've replaced one of the ten albums with Pitbull's latest offering, "Planet Pit". It's a symphony of techno, dance, hip hop, and just plain fun. If you like energetic music, then you'll get a blast out of the songs from his album. All tracks have been added into high rotation, along with the other 9 albums we have up. Keep coming back to our blog, and we'll let you know of other albums we'll be putting into rotation!

We are now on Twitter, so "follow" us and keep up with the latest Killer News from the KILR World!

KILR FM moves to Live365!

It was a tough decision, but it was time to say farewell to our first network server - Loudcaster. Although, there were many great ideas behind the tools they were developing, it just wasn't giving the exposure we wanted our station to have around the world.

With the recent success of "KILR Hitz", we've decided to join our sister station and move the station over to Live365 where the listeners are.

Live365 is one of the major contenders in internet radio, and strives to be at the forefront of this radio revolution. KILR FM wants to be right there also. You can read more information about them here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live365

KILR FM will have two different variety formats for your entertainment pleasure:

1) We'll be broadcasting LIVE from 3am to 9pm Pacific with the same great variety mix we had on Loudcaster. Nothing will change, in fact, it will improve immensely. This broadcast will be commercial free.

2) From 9pm to 3am overnights and all weekend, we'll be focusing more on Classic Rock and Oldies with a touch of some modern day hits. This broadcast will be ad-supported by Live365 and its sponsors.


Naturally, the schedules will change as we bring back our other DJ's.

We have also begun rebuilding our website, and making it more visually interesting. Our goal is to make it a fun place to hang out. Check it out here:

KILR FM undergoing reconstruction and the new KILR Hitz

We haven't had a blog on here for awhile. If you've been listening to KILR FM lately, you may have noticed some changes. We have been making some reorganizational changes to how we play music and soon we'll be making some server changes as well.

We have been testing out live broadcasting for the past couple of weeks to great success. It has allowed us to maintain the wide variety of music we have, but enable us to balance it more effectively over each hour. The result is a more enjoyable experience with the music.

Since we are making these changes, all previous DJ's are taking a break to rework their shows including myself and Demonslover. We will all be making a comeback, but will be doing it when we are ready and able. The KILR website is also tied into this, since it will be going through some major reconstruction as well. Our goal is to kickstart the website up to the next level of "professional" radio. Professional as in quality, not as in profit. Believe me, we are not making money out of this. It's done for fun and the love of music.

We are also in contact with independent artists and bands across the world to help promote their work as they promote us. Big things are in store for KILR FM and you, our KILR Kommunity!

One great piece of news is the success of our brand new, sister station "KILR Hitz". We began this station on Live365 as a trial, and in its first month it has jumped in the ratings from #72 to #30 in the Top 40 category. "KILR Hitz" is more focused in its variety of music by only playing Number One hits from the Billboard Hot 100, European Hot 100, and number one hits from across the world from the 1940's to the present. It's success has been inspirational as we consider moving KILR FM to the Live365 network as well.

All of us will be back on the air soon, and we might even add some new personalities to the KILR Krew!

Keep on rockin'!

Or boot-scootin'...

Or moonwalkin'...

Hey, we play it all! :-)
