Hello listeners. We lost a couple outstanding singer/sonwriter/performers recently. Chris Gaffney passed away a couple of months ago after a short battle with liver cancer. The Golden Voice of the Great Southwest, Utah Phillips also caught the westbound in late May, a week after his 73rd birthday. Both of these artist's memories and legacy will be kept alive and well at Wild West Radio.
++++++ UPDATE APRIL 6th 2007++++++
Wild West Radio's Jeff Scammon along with Radio Paradise's (and former KFAT radio personality) Bill Goldsmith appeared today on Jeffrey Callison's "Insight" program on Capital Public Radio station KXJZ in Sacramento today. The topic was the proposed unfair rate hike for Internet radio broadcasters. You can listen to the podcast by clicking here. Our many thanks to Jeffrey Callison and his staff at Insight for their interest in Wild West Radio and Internet broadcasting.
))))))))))) UPDATE April 4th, 2007 (((((((((((
In yesterday's Sacramento Bee, Bee writer Sam McManus and photograper Autumn Cruz did a fine article on the plight of Internet radio stations to combat the unfair efforts of the RIAA. You can read the entire article here.
Finally an update!!! March 23, 2007
Today at 4:30 PM, we doubled our listening slots which will allow double the number of listeners to tune in concurrently. This had become an increasing problem in past weeks as our server was reaching capacity for hours at a time. The only downside to the increased listening slots is the increased expense. I guess I won't worry about that too much as our listeners have always come through with financial support when we've needed it. We could really use you support now more than ever!
**************Update 9/07/06*************
On September 6th, Jeffrey Callison's Insight program on KXJZ in Sacramento, featured the topic of Pirate Radio, Low Power FM Stations and Cable Radio. Founder/Operator of Wild West Radio, Jeff Scammon was asked to appear as a guest to discuss the aspects of Pirate Radio and Internet Radio Broadcasting. You can listen to the show by clicking here.

It’s mostly accurate, except the part about “the severe interference.” Sac News and Review apparently didn’t read the FCC notice properly. There are a few other discrepancies as well, but I do appreciate them taking an interest In Wild West Radio and getting the word out.
For a donation or gift of just $60, you will receive a CD loaded with some great Wild West Radio Music. For a $150 gift, you'll receive as a "thank you" an awesome 6 CD set. A wonderful addition to any Music Junkies' Collection.
Any donation amount is useful and greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
