Contrary to rumour (which I can't understand how this could be construed as such) MOJO RADIO LIVE is NOT closing down!
Recently we were more of a clogged artery than a radio station. Our schedule was full of shows, but not much talent. We've released a lot of dead wood from their obligations so that we can bring you better programming.
I believe our main problem as a fledgling station was that we were too much into the "throw it against the wall and see what sticks" mentality. Slapping shows up onto the schedule without any auditions or history of a following for the sake of ...well...filling up the schedule. This is why we're semi-shutting down for restructure.
Now when I say that, I don't mean that if you log onto KMRL, there's nothing going on. The current default playlist is still running and some DJ's are free to continue to broadcast at will whether they are in their time slot or not, so don't think there's nothing to listen to.
I repeat: We are NOT closing down. We're just learning from our mistakes. Gone from us are the divas. We are now refilling our time slots with great, committed talent. People who understand that this, as fun and exciting as it can be, is a business first and a fun place second. Not to sound harsh, but that's the cold hard facts. None of that hippie love, dancing circles around the campfire barefoot shit.
What we're doing is trying to make the station grow. To do that, you must cut out all the divas and drama and bring in people that are either more established professionals or those with a professional work ethic. It's a radio station yes, but it's ours and it's a bigger job than it sounds like on paper. With that said, we seek a higher caliber in any show broadcast on KMRL. We want things different than every other radio station out there.
Our standards have raised. People with a following (a REAL one that is) will be filling the station's scheduler. Some other new shows are so off the wall, their following will grow quickly whether they have a fanbase or not. So be on the look out for shock jocks and really radical views and all new genres of music!
So there you have it in a very big nutshell. We're not closing. We're just getting better. Keep your ears peeled. You may stumble across new jocks practising under the personal mentorship of some of our more seasoned highly rated jocks to insure full quality control and all around awesome programming! You never know what surprises you might get!
Also, be on the look out for a high tech interface in the default rotation where YOU the listener can have a say in what you hear even on the default playlist which is being expanded as we speak...er....read!
So tune in and watch the baby grow in to a man (easier without all that excess estrogen drama around).
KMRL...we're only getting better. Now HOBBYIST DIVA FREE!
