Recently, KLIK has been making some huge improvements to our entire system.  It’s all a part of what we’ve called “KLIK Interactive” – trying to get more in touch with our listeners and what they want.  This has led us to…

• Accept text requests!  Send a text to 970-458-5545 and try it out for yourself!  Powered by Twilio.
• Create a “song kill switch.”  During the day, disturbingly awful songs get played.  Creating the song kill switch gives listeners the power to take those songs off the air.  We’ll notice trends in songs that are getting killed and take those songs out of regular rotation (often times leading to their entire banishment from the library).
• We’re designing a brand new web site!  Think Twitter for music….specific to KLIK’s current listeners.  Ultra-local, ultra-social radio.  I could almost see this as a licensable concept (cha-ching!)
• The development of an iPhone/iPod touch site.  (maybe we should write an iPod app while we’re at it :D)
• Significant improvements to the KLIK Podcaster (a total re-design happened this semester)

We’re raising additional money to buy an awesome phone line management program — PhoneBox Solo — which is a major source of improvement for KLIK.  It’s mildly expensive, so help us out and donate.

More to come!
