3:15PM 7/21/26: the Brewer fire, which surrounds our KJIV 96.5 FM transmitter site outside of Madras Oregon is now at 28,000 acres and growing with 1% containment. At last word yesterday, the site itself is not currently under threat, but access to the site and other fires in the area are complicating the efforts of our ISP to restore the Internet. As we say in radio: “please standby”. It could be days, or hours. We will be contributing to “The Fan Fund” in an effort to blow all smoke south.

Word has it wildfires in the area of our KJIV transmitter site at Grizzly Peak in Central Oregon have a part in the outage of our Internet service to our transmitter there, knocking out our signal on 96.5 FM. As always, our crack technical crew, powered by Mormon tea and Ayahuasca, are working on it. We’re hoping Canada doesn’t charge us for the smoke going north.

Listeners in the area are advised to consult their favorite net media consumption device as our stream is carrying on. Thank you for your attention to this matter. DeeJayTea

We’re happy to announce the new Dan Hicks page, which will be dedicated to all things Dan. There’s several concert recordings and pictures to come, all starting with a playful set from Dan and Deux Messieurs at the now hallowed Hacienda del Sol circa 1986. See the DAN PAGE UNDER THE “CONCERTS” MENU/TAB ABOVE.

THAT WAS ALL SUCH GREAT RADIO! Thanks to Tiny, Di, and Doug for curating such beautiful music and commentary for our nation’s big-ass birthday.

Broadcasters have been urged (by their federal governing agency) to be sure and air suitable patriotic programming to honor our country’s 250th. When it comes to the Jive-O-Sphere, the first artists that came to mind were Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, but then there’s about 1000 more, and then there’s Jesse Wells. So, we’re going to have them all on the Fourth of July, all day long… A special pot of gumbo from all of us musical chefs to you. Fourth of July. All day. And night.

This next selection from the Jiveradio vault marks the first return for Elvis and his band The Attractions to the US after his explosive premier tour the year before, supporting his album release of “My Aim is True”. It captures Elvis at his fiery best. It joins the growing list of live concert recordings available nowhere else but Jiveradio, on the ‘Concerts’ tab above. Enjoy some Elvis like you seldom hear him on our Elvis page HERE.

I just stumbled onto this piece from about five years ago from our “Press” menu (above). To think that we are still on the air almost 5 years later in this, our schizoclectic version of radio, is due to nobody else but you, our listeners. Our only support. BRAVO!
