| Jones College Radio, WKTZ 90.9 FM, is
one of Jacksonville's
market leading station as reported by ratings providers. Thanks Jacksonville
for our top five rating in listeners 35+. For over forty four
years, the trademark Jones College sound has enjoyed a loyal following of
dedicated listeners and can be heard 24 hours a day in private homes, businesses
and professional offices throughout northeast Florida and southeast Georgia.
Commentary by Dick McMeekin is enjoyed twice each weekday at 10:15 AM and 3:15
PM. |
| As most of you are aware we have been working hard on new
streaming methods. The AAC encoding of our stream would be best but we
were unable to come to terms with the provider. I have installed our own AAC
Encoding machine and a Flash Media Server and we are now streaming the AM
station using the new method. It is much more difficult to stream the large
number of connections for WKTZ FM so very popular that it takes a utility
grade connection to handle the traffic. I am now
testing a new AAC stream for WKTZ-FM
here it is a 48kbps HE-AAC stream. WARNING This stream may go down from
time to time as I test other configurations. Let me know what you think. |

06/16/2009 We have
worked hard to build relationships with businesses and the community. Our
search for support continues to fall short of our needs. The added stress of
our national economic condition has impacted your ability to support us. it
has also impacted funds available to our business sponsors. I would like to
thank Richard our most recent contributor from the great state of
Michigan. His
contribution this morning of $150 is particularly appreciated when you
consider the economic impact of current events in his state. Last months
contributions from our listeners totaled just under $2,000. That's
about 3 cents per listener. Don't get me wrong, we appreciate every
penny. |
