Spread the word!

Like so many things that happen in life, when you hear about it from a trusted friend or relative, you can trust that the message is true and meaningful. The same is true when you tell someone about something you’ve found to be valuable or useful. You tell your friends and family about a great deal or contest you saw online, a sale happening at your favorite store, a great coupon for a free meal at your favorite restaurant. This kind of communication is called word of mouth. For business owners, it’s the best form of advertising. One reason it’s the best is that unlike most other methods, word of mouth is entirely free! Another is that element of trust that is built-in to this powerful means of spreading the word.

As the owner and operator of America’s Country, one of my struggles is building a strong and loyal family of listeners who will always be there. As a natural entertainer, I get a lot of joy and get energized when I can see that something I create brings people their own joy and fun. America’s Country is my creative outlet. I love doing it! When I look at the stats and see that there are hundreds of you listening all day long and day after day, it kindles the fire inside me and makes me want to do more and to do it better.

I am inviting you all to spread the word. Talk to your family, friends and co-workers about America’s Country. Tell them your honest opinions about us. Express how you really enjoy listening to our Hot Country Hits all the time. Tell them we don’t play commercials. Tell them they can request songs and I’ll play them. If you follow us on Facebook, you see that I always ask for them to share the page on their own timelines and that is wonderful. I think you’ll agree that if you take a moment and tell someone face-to-face or on the phone (not a text), the communication and the effect will be more meaningful and lasting.

How to do you tell them to listen? I know that it’s not as easy as telling them to tune in to 101.3 on their car radio, but point them to either this site: kxrtonline.com or have them go to facebook.com/americascountry. If they are Tweeters, have them go to twitter.com/americascountry. There are many ways to find and listen to us.

Friends, I thank you in advance for your help with this. It means worlds to me that you would make such an effort. I wish you good luck. If you want to share your experiences, please comment below. If you have questions or concerns, email me: timmy@kxrtonline.com.

Thank you!

-Timmy

We REALLY need your help!

Here’s the deal. I need money! Operating a legal and legit internet radio station costs money. Besides streaming bandwidth, we have to pay royalties and other fees to those who give us music. It’s a crappy deal, not that the artists don’t deserve it, but that traditional radio doesn’t have to pay! Regardless, I REALLY REALLY want to stay commercial free and I even more really really want to keep doing this. The solution?? You donate to us! You can make a one-time donation or setup a monthly subscription. Click the Donate feature up there, next to the Listen feature and you can proceed. I’ll be completely honest. I can’t afford this. It’s not fair to my family for me to be draining this money. I love my sweet wife and she is being “ok” with it for now. I know she’s not thrilled. I really only need about $100 a month to break even. I promise that the money will ONLY go to the operation of this station. You can also click our banner ads on our website and our stream launch page. Every little bit helps. I’m afraid this will not last much longer and it breaks my heart. Please show how much I know you love us by helping us out. Thank you.

February is HOT!

Typically, February isn’t known as a month that brings warm weather, much less hot! I’ve got two big announcements that will make February cook!

Announcement #1: The Bobby D Show is back! Starting Feb. 1st at 6am Mountain, we’re bringing Bobby Back! We were carrying his show before all the holidays last fall and we miss him! He will be back with all his news, celebrity gossip and killer interviews! Bobby D puts on a great show! He has callers, guests and even some great contests. We’re thrilled to be bringing back the Bobby D Show!

Announcement #2: For those who have been around for some time, remember when we played a HUGE variety of pop/rock/country and were called KXRT. Our weekend shows included a very talented host named DJ Mike. He is now back and counts down the top 10 country hits on his weekly show, The DJ Mike Hot Country Throwdown! Along with the 10 biggest, DJ Mike also plays some great music from the past 20 years and has our favorite artists talking about their music and their lives. The show will play Saturday nights at 7pm Mountain and we invite you to check it out!

Bonus Announcement: (Yeah, we hooked you up with extra!) The former host of The ACC Top 20, Stephen Keogh has been chosen as the new voice of America’s Country! We’re excited to have his great Irish accent filling the spaces between the songs! His voice should add a touch of class and be very unique!

Thank you all for listening to America’s Country in 2012! If you ever need anything, please email me directly: timmy@kxrtonline.com. Or, you can always comment on our social media pages and call 801-788-4916. Happy Valentine’s Day!
