A Tour

The other day I got a private tour of the KLRC studios.  They're one of Downtown's newest businesses.

Martin was broadcasting the Saturday morning shift.

What a beautiful studio!  Here's where they keep up with the weather and upcoming songs.

When this light flashes, it's live radio straight from Downtown!

Thanks for the tour, KLRC!

I'll see you Downtown!

KLRC

A few weeks back, KLRC packed up their SUV and moved Downtown! 

We're so glad they're here.

They're glad to be in the neighborhood as well.  To celebrate they're throwing a party, and you're invited!

The studios will be open from 2-4pm this Sunday afternoon (September 18th).  Come by and maybe you'll win a prize.  All the details be found here.

Remember to stick around after the open house; there's going to be a concert in the park!

I'll see you Downtown!

PS: The Cafe on Broadway will be open during KLRC's Open House.  Coffee and music--the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon!

Look and Listen

KLRC is happily settled in their new home Downtown. It's fun having them here.

From the street you can look in the studio windows and actually see what is happening on air.  Pretty fun, huh?  Even more fun is the button to the left of the door.  Push the button and you can hear what's happening in the studio!  It's a great feature.

Next time you're Downtown be sure to "Take a listen, take a look".

Welcome to the neighborhood, KLRC!

I'll see you Downtown!

Preparations

Preparations are being made for KLRC's move Downtown.

They've been installing equipment on top of the Houston Enzymes's building.  Being one of the tallest buildings Downtown, it's the perfect place to catch the "waves" (radio waves, that is!).

I'll see you Downtown!

PS: Happy Memorial Day!

John Brown University had a big announcement today.  Their radio station KLRC is moving its studio Downtown!

Here's a picture of the staff and radio personalities taken just outside their new building.

KLRC Finds New Home in Historic Downtown Siloam Springs

Siloam Springs, Arkansas (April 5, 2011)

101.1 KLRC, a ministry of John Brown University, is moving to a new home in historic downtown Siloam Springs.  The facility, located at 110 North Broadway, will be purchased to meet the growing need for additional offices, studios and parking and is a convenient location for listeners to visit. Currently KLRC is operated out of a building located on the west side of the main JBU campus in Siloam Springs.

“We’re so excited about becoming a part of the downtown Siloam Springs community,” said Sean Sawatzky, KLRC General Manager. “We’ll be setting up our main studio so it’s visible from Broadway Street.  We’re hoping to give the people of Siloam Springs yet another reason to spend time downtown.” 

This will be the third location the station has occupied in its history. When the station launched in 1984, it was located on the first floor of the Learning Resource Center near the center of campus. As the need for space became an issue, the station moved to its current location in 2002. Sawatzky said the station will move to its downtown location in early summer.

“This opportunity is a win-win for KLRC and Siloam Springs,” said Kim Hadley, vice president for finance and administration. “We see this as our chance to give KLRC the space they need while expanding our connection with the community.”

I'll see you Downtown!
