We received lots of nice notes of thanks from listeners who enjoyed our Richard Cabeza Day ’22 radio tribute to Bruce Van Dyke. As you may guess, we intend to make it annual on Oct. 31, so stay tuned! Most all of the tributes and spoken word segments will be available on Bruce’s DJ page in the weeks ahead.

 

Also please note that JiveRadio is entirely listener supported. If you have not already, please consider chipping in to keep the hamsters fed and the tunes flowing. Making great radio ain’t cheap!

Starting at midnite this Sunday night, thru midnite Monday (10/31 “Nevada Day”) The Jive will be airing “Bruce’s Bucket” which is a collection of several thousand songs curated by Our Fair Leader Bruce Van Dyke. Mixed in with Bruce’s music will loads of voice quips from Bruce’s air shifts on KTHX-Reno from the mid-90’s, and some tributes from fellow DJ’s. Only on JiveRadio —BE THERE!

Bruce’s Cosmic Send Off will be celebrated Sunday October 9th at a shindig for family & friends. We will be broadcasting some part of the evening on the Jive, just the way Bruce would like it: loose & goosey. Times will be announced here soon.

Loads of audio nuggets from various vaults coming soon to Bruce’s DJ page here, AND a BVD JiveRadio Tribute Day is set for Nevada Day, Oct. 31. Loads of fun stuff!

…another net outage in the system. Working on it, PLEASE STANDBY…

SUNDAY 10/2: Our main outbound link is broken and may not be fixed until Monday. Our website players and song trackers are out until then. Meanwhile our main stream will be filled with the similar sounds of our junior station, KDAN, enjoy!

Sometime this Winter, our signal on 101.5FM covering The Dalles and Hood River area of northern Oregon and southern Washington, will go away. The license has been purchased by another broadcaster. This saddens us greatly. We had much higher hopes.

On the air for barely three years, the poor child lost the bulk of what little local business support it had in it’s first year and then COVID hit, wiping out virtually all income other than a handful of our dedicated listeners. To them, and to the great folks at Schulten’s Motors, who stuck with us through thick and thin, we thank you for supporting this fledgling experiment in freeform radio for the Gorge. For more info, see the Official Legal Notice over in the right column in the station listings.

Our Jiveradio stream will continue to crank out the same great mix, hopefully for years to come.
