News Notes & Spins June 1 2013

Okay … this is late. It’s June… the festival season has started and my calendar is PACKED! So if I’m late or if a new show is not done each week you’ll know why. Not much on my end to report really… the Colorado Sound Live365 could use your help. We had a great 1st month, but May’s listens fell by over 50% … so would love to see that you’re listening. The blog broke a record for unique views in a month with over 2000 for May. So while the blog readership went up, the station listens went down … weird. Here’s the link to the station – The Colorado Sound Live365

OpenAir 1340 has started a new program on CPR News (90.1 FM in Denver, cpr.org) called the Best of Mile High Noon. It’s an hour long show featuring all Colorado music, basically condensing a week’s worth of Mile High Noon (weekdays at noon on OpenAir) segments into a full hour. Runs Thursdays at 9 pm and repeats Sundays at 6 pm. Very exciting opportunity for OpenAir to bring Colorado music to the FM dial.

KGNU’s 25th Annual “Charles Sawtelle Mountain Jam” will be held in the side yard of the Gold Hill Inn on Sunday, July 21st, 11am-4:30 pm Mollie O’Brien and the Hamkickers will headline, with Giddy Up Kitty and Finnders and Youngberg rounding out the bill. There will be Texas-style BBQ, salads, corn on the cob, microbrews and Mead available for purchase. More information online at http://www.kgnu.org

KDNK news team won the regional Edward R Murrow award for a report that they did on a local crime issue and they are finalists for the national award. Eric Skalac and Ed Williams are our team. Kat Rich, our Events Coordinator has moved on to greener pastures.

News Notes and Spins – May 1, 2013

It hasn’t been a good month in our scene, I’m sorry to say. No sooner did we hear about the passing of legendary concert promoter Barry Fey, than we heard that long time scenester and bartender Chris Haney was shot to death while breaking up a fight at a Denny’s in Denver. The Denver Post and Westword have covered these stories admirably, so I won’t attempt to re-cover them here. It all sure did amount to a lot of heartbreak though as we ended the month, that otherwise had lots to celebrate.

Okay it’s official; I took the leap of faith after years of folks asking if they could get The Colorado Sound online…. here’s the whole thing … THE COLORADO SOUND RADIO & TV … of course, like any other broadcaster, it does take funding to keep it on the air – FUNDING AND SPONSORSHIPS.

The show that is heard throughout the state on participating stations will continue to be the hallmark program presenting the hottest new releases every week, as well as choice cuts from over the past 50 years. So, if you want to hear what’s NEW and BREAKING this week – you’ll need to dial up KRFC (Fort Collins), KOTO (Telluride), KDNK (Carbondale/Glenwood Springs), KWMV (Westcliffe), or KFVR (Pueblo).

The stats are looking fine too all the way around … this site generated a new monthly record for the month of April with over 1600 unique page views. The Colorado Sound Live365 in its first month had over 2500 unique page views, and over 1050 stream starts with an average listening time of 17 mins. The record number of streams for one day was 97. The station is capable of handling 500 non-VIP listeners at any one time. Overall, the Colorado Sound finished the month ranked #2282 on Live365 among 5500 stations.

We had ONE person sign up to become a VIP listener. We need 15 a month for the station to pay for itself, or other forms of funding to kick in. Please spread the word; every donation helps. ALSO … the new TOP40 goes live today, and there’s been some adds to other segments.. so do check it out.

My summer sure is shaping up. I’m now booked to be at over 20 events this summer – and just had to turn down another 10 because I just don’t have that many open Friday nights. Next festival on the schedule is Saturday June 1 – Sunday June 2 when I’ll be hosting the CHUN stage at the 42nd Annual CHUN People’s Fair – I think this is my 10th year hosting this stage now. I’ll be in Fort Collins every Thursday night from May 30-August 8 hosting the Thursday Night Live series, capped off by the 25th Annual Bohemian Nights @ New West Fest celebration Aug 16-18. Along the way, I’ll also produce and host the Carbon Valley Music & Spirits Festival on Aug 3rd, featuring The Samples, Face, The Afrosippi Band with Erica Brown, After Midnight Jazz Band, Jeff Brinkman Band, Jaden Carlson, and Jake Miles.

That’s if for me …

STATION NEWS

KGNU is celebrating 35 Years on air May 22nd. We will have an open house all day with birthday cake, ice cream and coffee. Noam Chomsky is speaking at the Central Presbytyrian Church in Denver on Tuesday, May 7th. This is a fundraiser for the station as part of our birthday month and tickets are available at www.kgnu.org.

We will have a special live broadcast of our Blues Legacy program from Cafe Sole (Table Mesa Shopping Center, South Boulder) on Friday, May 17th. The Boulder Blues Trio (John March, Chris Engelmann and Jay Forrest) will be joined by many special guests, including: Colorado music icon Chris Daniels and Denver blues & jazz singer extraordinaire Robert Johnson. Tune in Friday, May 10th, 6:00-9:00 PM.

KOTO is happy to introduce our new Executive Director, Dina Coates Koebler, to radio land! Dina’s extensive background in non-profit management and fundraising makes her the perfect fit. She’s been visiting Telluride from Springfield, IL for years and decided to shake things up and apply for the open position!

Downstairs at 207 North Pine Street, the venerable, purple KOTO house is undergoing a remodel, which will feature more, private office space, a brand-spanking new production room for our KOTO News team and electrical wiring that will no longer be a hazard to our building’s health!

Speaking of news, longtime KOTO News Director Stephen Barrett has, like his idol The King, left the building. We are sad to see him go, but wish him well in his re-invention back East. We hope he’ll return from time to time to be part of our Live Broadcasts of the Telluride Bluegrass and Telluride Blues and Brews Festivals. Taking the reins from Stephen is Laura Colbert, who has tons of experience in public affairs programming in public radio back in New Hampshire (fer damn sher!). Caitlin Ketel joins Laura in the part-time reporter position.

Telluride’s newest festival, The Ride is this July 13 and 14 in our beautiful Telluride Town Park. Headliners include David Byrne and St. Vincent, Rodrigo and Gabriela, Cake, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Steve Earle and much more! The festival is produced in partnership with KOTO-FM. We’d love to see you join in the fun and make The Ride’s second year a smashing success. More info at www.koto.org

I’m Mike Clifford, and I just took over as Music Director here at community radio KRZA Alamosa/Taos (“connecting cultures along the upper Rio Grande) on Monday, 04/29. I’m still working out my exact schedule, but, since I’m doing the morning show, too, I’m usually here from 8am to 9am M-F, if you can get up that early to call. I’ve actually been in the radio business much longer than seems possible, given my youthful, energetic and enthusiastic bearing ;-). In any case, I remember things like getting Fluid records on vinyl from Sub Pop – because we didn’t have CD players at KRUX, in Las Cruces, NM, where I was MD at the time. In any case, I’m excited to be back “in the fray” as Chris K. said (or should that be Fray?), and looking forward to being in touch with folks. Thanks!
