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:

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! :-)
