You may have heard a bit of what is happening by now. Here’s the whole story.

Some of the staff members of the station decided that they could run an internet radio station “better” than KJSR.net, and left, taking a majority of the DJs with them.

I wish them all the luck in the world, but have a feeling that they are going to fail miserably.

Also, effective December 30, the FCC is pulling the station’s funding (they’re shutting down their entire internet radio sponsorship program), leaving us in the lurch for roughly $148.53 a month. But that isn’t important. This station survived without funding before, and can do it again.

Losing this many people at once though, has gutted the station, and myself.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into the station for the last 3 years. Raised it from 20 listeners a week as a City of Heroes fan-station up to a 1000+ listener per week powerhouse. Brought on board only the best of the best. Nearly bankrupted myself many times until we got the FCC funding. And this is how I’ve been repaid. It hurts. A lot.

So, I have a very difficult decision to make. Do I try to keep the station running with very few DJs and no funding, or let the station die?

This isn’t a decision to be made lightly. But it is a decision that I must make. Feel free to leave a comment, or if you wish to contact me personally, my email address is dj-charlie@kjsr.net (for now).

Friends, a dear listener needs your help desperately! In Betty’s own words:

Today at 4:00PM we were suppose to get my grandson Caleb El-Aayi, his mother Maya El-Aayi didn’t show up. Her mother called us and said that last night Caleb’s mom Somaya El-Aayi took him and went to the mountains for the night.

She was supposed to head back this morning and no one has been able to get hold of her. We have reason to believe that Somaya (aka: Maya, Mya) has possibly decided to run with him as we are in the middle of going back to court for more custody.

PLEASE if you hear anything of this, or see Caleb or Somaya contact the police.

He is three years old and was last seen leaving with his mother going to the mountains of Colorado.

The Listeners cried out, and we have heard!

We have set up a page to let you VOTE OFF a song from the auto-DJ’s playlist! Hate hearing that same song over and over while you wait for a live DJ to come on and entertain you?

Then point your browser to kjsr.net/vote-off and vote for the song you DON’T want to ever hear again!

Sorry! But we’re installing the new hardware router for the station RIGHT NOW, so that’s why DJ Crypto isn’t on the air.

We HOPE to have everything back up and running within the hour, so sit tight!

We’re back up, and on a FASTER connection!
