Corvallis joins JiveRadio orbit!

KORC-LP 96.5FM Corvallis, Oregon

On Jan. 31, the FCC granted Corvallis, Oregon-based Veterans For Peace a “Low Power FM” broadcast license. OpenSkyRadio funded & built the “facility” and is providing custom, locally-generated JiveRadio content while local outreach and organization is undertaken.

Broadcasting from our friend George’s yard shed, the antenna is surrounded by trees taller than it is, which is bad for radio waves. While we solidly cover the parking lot at Papa’s Pizza (99W), and leak into south Corvallis, we need a better site for an antenna.

Anybody out there have a site that looks over Corvallis?

LUMP SUM TOM SATURDAYS! 

with “The Velveeta Underground”

features our pal Tom Ward’s newest assault on your senses now airing Saturday’s @ 6pm [reprises Fri’s @ noon.] followed by a hand-selected reprise of one of Tom’s classic “The Flipside” episodes.

“The Velveeta Underground” secret recipe: One cheesy plateful of really obscure musical nuggets are blended with interviews of even more obscure artists and topped with a pile of irreverrant humor & snark.

Immediately followed by:

Join Tom and his errant sidekick Klappy for a weekly madcap ride around Gerlach, Nevada and the Black Rock/Smoke Creek Desert environs.

LumpSumTom cranks up another rusty erection.

Carson City’s KNVC takes solo flight.

JiveRadio’s content has been acting as a place marker on Carson City’s KNVC-LP 95.1FM since our parent non-profit, OpenSkyRadio, had something to do with the licensee obtaining the FCC license last February.  

I thought we would have some notice and time to alert our Carson listeners before The Jive would be cut, but that was not to be. I sincerely apologize to all of the 95.1 Jive listeners out there who had no idea this was coming to such an abrupt end. Our stream at JiveRadio.org is going strong and we care about you.

So, Nevada’s capitol city has a new “community based” radio station. We at OSR hope that the citizenry will embrace and build on this important socio-cultural resource potential.

Cheers & stay tuned (up)! – Jeff ‘A Radio Guy’ Cotton

Out with old, IN with the new!

Well, hey now… Hi folks!

Please note that the old stream portal [50.7.76.250] is going away in a few days. I see that some 30 or so streamers are still streaming from that portal. THAT WILL SOON GO D-E-D! You will need to point your devices to the url shown on our website (to your right) under the player.

Thank you for listening- Radio Guy (a.k.a, “Guy Radio”)
