KILR Radio prepares you for the holidays.

Starting today, KILR Radio mixes in Christmas and holiday music into its music variety music.

Since we have no limits on the decades and genres we play, you will have the opportunity to hear all the greatest Christmas classics, comedy tunes, and newer hits all on the same station. We also don't want to overdo it, so we keep it to a few holiday songs each hour within the wide variety of music we already play. No interruptions will be made during our DJ hosted shows, unless they want to play a few holiday tunes.

So now, you can hear all of your favorite hit songs, album tracks, oldies, and much more with a small does of holiday favorites to get you ready for the season.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Seasons Greetings from your friends at KILR Radio!

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!
