Gratuitous Echo…..new episodes Saturday night at 9. replay Weds night at 9. and always avail on the website. just go to DJs, then BVD, and the show is right there. listen at your leisure!
wham, bam, thank you Shazam
i was chatting with a listener recently who was a bit frustrated. she likes a lot of our programming, sure, but was crabby because songs that she liked weren’t identified. yes, this can be a pitfall with our notorious low budget operation, BUT……this is exactly why we love SHAZAM. this nifty app can really be helpful in the song/artist identification realm. it’s free, it downloads very quickly, and, more importantly, IT WORKS. really helpful for expanded appreciation of Jive Radio! so if you don’t have it on your phone…….get widdit!
Well, sumbitch!
Just got word from The Vector that our little KDAN got some ‘good ink’: HERE
As they say…stay tuned (up)!
Gratuitous convenience is now a thing
ok, it’s obvious you people want stuff to be convenient. we here at Open Sky are totally down with that philosophy of life. sooooo…….now you can listen to Bruce’s red-eyed new radio show Gratuitous Echo when YOU want to. because we know that listeners are not just boss…. they ARE the boss! and so here’s the deal. on our home page here, (1) go up to DJs. click. (2) click on BVD (3) there on bruce’s page, you’ll find…..the GE of that week. go ahead and party with it! it’s there for you if you want it at 830 in the morning or 830 at night. you screeched, and we heard!
and this saturday night at 9 PDT, the 4th GE will drop, and it will replay on wednesday night at 9. but if those times don’t work for you…….
Gratuitous Echo….the radio show that is already shamelessly shilling for a dispensary sponsorship!
KJYV: “Fritz @ Halfway House”
UPDATE: 20apr21- JayVee is back on in the Gorge, limping along on a backup transmitter at half power. Still, you can get it west of Wyeth! Old One is in the Shop of Hope, waiting for diagnosis.

It seems our near-40 year old KJYV transmitter is choking badly and may require replacement. Our crack technical crew is working on it. It may be mid-week before we return to air. Our stream and apps are working in the meantime.
