Spunk FM 101.9 Seattle - spunkfm.com is LIVE!

As of Sunday morning (Pride Day In Seattle) at 1am, my pirate station 'The Whore' became 'Spunk FM'. The new website is also up at www.spunkfm.com

We are streaming live using 'Streamer', a great p2p streaming solution that you should check out if you are looking for a very easy and free way to broadcast online. You can download the 'Streamer' player on SpunkFM.com or from the 'Streamer' website at www.streamerp2p.com. If you download from the 'Streamer' site, be sure you download the Beta 2.05 version of the full player and broadcaster (there is a player only version, haven't tried it). But the full version Beta 2.05 player/broadcaster works FREAKING GREAT! It is also easy to customize the 'player screen', the 'player's station list icon for your station', and the 'Streamer website's station list/yellow pages icon' for your station (which can even be an animated gif). Download 'Streamer' and check out how I customized the graphics of Streamer to match the graphics/images/branding of SpunkFM.com.

The next day or two will be spent tweaking the format of Spunk FM very slightly, but it will always be pretty much the same station as 'The Whore' was... just more 'marketable'.

Hope you like Spunk FM and SpunkFM.com

I know a few of the C89 crew. I went to middle school and high school with one of the jocks that has been with C89 for many years. They love the station. One of the teachers took a few of the students on a drive up to the 'hill' to listen to the station. The students love it too. I have also worked with a few C89 alumni in professional radio.

My format is way different from C89's as I play a lot of techno and mix in classic dance tracks as well as alternative/indie rock that has a beat. C89 has a huge broadcast range, my range very limited.

I have a tremendous love for C89. They really are a top notch school that is training the next generation of broadcasters. It is my hope to one day be able to put a few of them to work as I do plan on getting fully licensed. On my station I also mention their fund drives and encourage my listeners to donate... a great station and institution like C89 needs all the support it can get with all of the cutbacks that have occured over the last few years.

We are different enough that I belive that we do compliment each other on the dial. I am also very aware of the fact that even my most loyal listeners listen to C89 when they are out of my broadcast range while out and about. Capitol Hill is also Seattle's 'gayborhood' and I target/serve the gay community, airing PSAs for all of the non-profit organizations that support the gay community, which is something that C89 avoids for the obvious reason that it is a high school station ran by students. Fred Phelps and his band of idiots of the WBC would be protesting in front of the school daily if they did... and not too many people in Seattle welcome his kind of ilk around here.

Most cities are even lucky to have one station that even 'touches' dance music at all. With Spunk FM on the air, Seattle has two.

I hope I have answered your question Nick. Have a GREAT EVENING!!!

- as I type this, Blondie's 'One Way Or Another' is playing on Spunk FM. I don't think C89 has played that in years :)
 
Blondie - One Way or Another shouldn't be played on C89.5. Even New York's wannabe dance station KTU doesn't play that song.
 
Any way to listen to this new station on a cell phone? 8)
