KUNC music stream, with mobile apps, 24/7

kuncTime for an update on KUNC’s all-music internet-only channel. It launched in the midst of the state’s flooding, which drove many listeners to news outlets, but should have been mentioned here.

A recent blog post about KGNU’s internet music channel should have opened with competitor KUNC Music 247, the 24-hour music stream that actually got a jump on the idea since it launched in September.

Call the format eclectic: “KUNC Music features new releases alongside established, quality artists that reflect Colorado’s unique lifestyle. “Classic artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Armatrading, and the Subdudes have loads of great songs, but they’ve been mostly abandoned by commercial rock formats,” KUNC Music Director Benji McPhail said in a release.

“KUNC Music plays those artists alongside newer artists like Arcade Fire, Jason Isbell, and Neko Case. You’ll also hear the occasional Sinatra classic, local favorites like Jeff Brinkman, some vintage soul, blues and more. It’s a one of a kind listening experience.”

Station boss Neil Best says the station is getting positive feedback, in terms of usage, and notes apps are available for both Android and IPhone devices.

KGNU to launch internet-only music channel, AfterFM

afterfm

On Oct. 21, KGNU Community Radio will launch AfterFM, an internet-only music channel available at http://www.afterfm.com (currently in testing mode).

The 24/7 channel will be a mix of the live, on-air music programming from KGNU blended with new musical offerings that exist only online, according to KGNU music director John Schaefer.

“70 percent or our programming is music. We’re not moving anything away from the AM-FM music schedules,” Schaefer said. The idea is to create a space specifically devoted to music (for those who have trouble sitting through newscasts). New shows like Mile High Soul Club, Turnstyles, Submission electronic show are on tap. Ritmos Latinos and New Orleans Rising are due next month.

Among the familiar offerings are “Dr. Martin’s Medicine Show,” an Americana show slated for Sunday mornings following “Roots & Branches” on AfterFM. Bayou Stomp and The Skavenger will also be part of the launch.

Per the station’s release:

“The initial list of contributors reads like a who’s who of the Denver and Boulder music scene: the classic and Northern Soul collective The Mile High Soul Club, local Dubstep advocates Sub.Mission, the beats and crate-digging gems of DJs K-Nee, Low Key, and Big Styles of the So What! crew, the Boulder electronic institution that is Communikey, the lost classics of The Denver Vintage Reggae Society.”

They’ll have some advertising on the site although it would be a stretch to say the channel is advertiser supported. “It’s really just an extension of the support we get during our pledge drives that allows us to expand,” Schaefer said.
