    We hope you're a fellow music lover and maybe share this link with someone that is still searching for a favorite station.

    We have our regular rotation from our terrestrial radio station, The Kegger, 94.1 KEGR Low Power FM. This is very mixed from Sinatra to Motorhead. This station has over a week of no song repeats and also has a very unique rotation system. Have you ever driven to or from work and heard the same song on the radio that you heard yesterday while sitting at the same stoplight? That is the result of a lazy program director and it will never happen on any of our website's streams.

    While you read this, the songs being played right now on 94.1 The Kegger, even though they don't come around in the rotation each time for another week, as the weeks go by, they will hit every hour of the clock, AM and PM, before they come back into this hour of the day again, over six months later. Over 70% of the music in this rotation is recorded off of vinyl records by our staff. To listen to 94.1, click this link

    Our three streams that we just added have a smaller but similar rotation system.

    80's Hits - mostly Pop and New Wave but currently a very small amount of late 80's Heavy Metal singles snuck in somehow. I'll extract them when we get access to more Pop and New wave artists.

    Metal - based on late 80's/early 90's Thrash and Power Metal with some of the faster songs by Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands thrown in.

    Classic Country - this station is 100% recorded off of vinyl records. Still a work in progress. The 80s Hits and Metal stations, along with the bigger name Country artists(Willie, Dolly, Waylon, Cash, etc) all have 2 months before the songs being played now are played in the same hour of day again. However, since converting vinyl to digital on such a scale is a very time consuming process, some of the songs by "One Hit Wonders" or "songs by artists I currently only have an album or two" will be back in the same hour again only a month later. As we acquire more Country albums to convert, we'll remove some of the repetition of these tracks to balance out and eventually extend the rotation.

    We are working on several more classic styles with one of them about 75-80% done. We hope you like our efforts so far and spread the word to friends and family that loves music from different classic eras.

    I'll finish this with my favorite review from one of my listeners that recognized my voice at a restaurant.
    "I love The Kegger because I hear so many good songs that I've never heard before, but they're played by artists that I've been listening to my entire life".
     
    Len and Dr. Wankler repped this.
