I attended a fundraising event at KLRU PBS today at the Austin Community College Highland campus…read more I was not aware that KLRU PBS had a space to host a social gathering. The capacity in the main event room was approximately 250. The room had a raised stage with audio visuals and large projection screen. There were 10 persons table with ample room to pass by. During the event there were several stations set up, picture backdrop and a rotating camera station. Within the hallways and the main even space there was plenty of room to walk without bumping into someone. Staff was on hand to direct you or help you with questions. They were all super friendly. I will definitely consider coming to or planning an event here.

After my Passport account elapsed due to the expiration of my credit card I chose to continue my…read moresubscription and entered new credit card information. The process told me to go to my email and get a new confirmation code. I did. I followed the instructions. When I went to sign on I received a message stating that my subscription had expired and ask if I would like to renew my subscription.....over and over the instructions went. Sign in or subscribe. Two days trying to get someone on the phone..... no success. The only reason I sometimes touch base on PBS is to see what liberal garbage is being expounded. It is opinion for the most part and is always lower than one would expect from a taxpayer funded entity.

This is actually my favorite radio station in Austin!…read more I "discovered" I actually liked it after hearing it almost everytime I went to my friend Tim's house. I suppose up until that point, I just misunderstood the station. Especially the switch over to the UT station which seems to have a constant stream of kids talking about Star Wars. Anyways, back to KOOP. The community sponsored station is run by volunteers and it shows in their programming. They play what they like and they want everyone else to hear. Turn it on, then sit back and enjoy.

Local community radio! This non-profit radio station, 91.7…read moreFM is a cool, refreshing change from all the main stream radio stations. The station is like Austin- weird. Listening to this station, is the soundtrack to keeping Austin Weird. Since it's all local volunteers, the music selections are as diverse as the music tastes in the Live Music Capitol of the World! Seriously, if you don't like the music here, just wait a little bit. Just like the weather in Texas! The DJs change out every few hours, and each one brings their own selection of weird music. You're not going to hear Top 40 on here. I like the fact that there's no real advertisements on this station. They're all public service announcements, and local issues that they talk about. The coolest thing about this station is that if you wanna get on the radio badly enough, they'll put you on the air, and provide the training on how to do it! KOOP's mission is "to engage, connect and enrich the whole community, including the underserved, through creating diverse, quality, educational music and news programming." They fulfill their mission!

Get on KOKE! This station plays both kinds of music-…read moreCountry AND Western! This Texas country radio station represents the local country music scene well. They play a lot of commercials, but do some good programming. Their country is less Nashville, and more Austin, highlighting artists from the Texas area. They play a lot of the classic country as well. The DJs take requests and give local weather and traffic updates throughout the day. The radio presentation is slick and professional, with nationally airing ads played regularly. They also hold the annual KokeFest, a celebration of KOKE. It's some big country bands! I enjoy how many of their songs are about drinking beer, trucks, and prison.

Austin City Limits Radio! It takes a lot of work to be the…read moreACL sponsored radio station in the live music capital of the world. These guys do a good job of spinnin' those discs and jamming those vinyl records. Being that they're an Austin City Limits radio station, that doesn't limit them to one genre of music. ACL music series- the show, and the concert series have had music all over the map. So if you say that you're an ACL radio station, you can really get away with playing just about anything, there's gotta be some way that every major artist is somehow associated with either the show or the concert series. If you don't like the genre of music, just like the weather in Texas, just give it a few minutes, and it'll change. I do get sick of the number of commercials that these guys play.

This is my favorite radio station anywhere I think. It reminds me a bit of KFAT in Gilroy years ago…read more(now KPIG in Santa Cruz/SF) in that you might hear anything at anytime. Well, not 'anything' since they don't play most of the crap that I avoid elsewhere. I have a couple of CD compilations from them that I play the hell out of. I'm too far away to hear it on a regular basis anymore but whenever I beg, borrow or steal my way to Austin, I'm all ears.

Bad boys, Bad girls, Whatcha gonna do??…read more Whatcha gonna do When they publish you... A co-worker brought this "rag" to my attention (actually another employee was IN it) and like a trainwreck on the Springer show, I had to check it out. I actually went and purchased one today for Yelpsearch (again, you can thank me later). This thing is sold behind the counter at certain convenience stores (check the webbie for locations) for $1 and NO tax. One dollar to make you holler. And just like Springer, I don't know whether to love it or hate it or be embarrassed by it....so 3 stars. A few thoughts I had whilst perusing this publication: How in the hell do they get away with putting peoples' mugshots in print???? (apparently thru the Freedom of Info Act and by mentioning on every page that all are innocent until proven guilty) I thought I was having a bad day.... I thought I was having a bad HAIR day...... There but for the grace of God go I...... What kind of pic would I have??? (see morning after pic, most likely) This thing posts everyone (watch yourselves out there creepy peeps!) from general public intoxication offenders, to repeat sex offenders (with "notorious recidivism"), to child beaters, and from "old farts" to "whipper snappers" and "busted beauties" to "handsome hooligans" (btw, they're all innocent til proven guilty). It also posts restaurant inspection ratings, little games to match the mugshot with the offense, and always reminds us that "Jesus Loves You" (I shit you not!). And just like daytime TV, this makes me feel a little dirty and ashamed for viewing it. I nervously laugh at these people, convincing myself that my life is sooo much better and I am soo much better until I remember some of the stuff I've done and......(I am innocent til proven guilty!).

You gotta like the Greensheet. Like Mr. Gatti's, they contribute to our fair city with a tune we…read morecan sing all day long. The Greensheet brings you buyers....Ha, now you're singing it too! This is basically one big classified ad section. It has many ads in the pet, apartments and vehicles sections. One cool feature is they print "INDIVIDUAL" at the end of every ad that's sold by common folk like you and me. If an ad doesn't say that, you know it's being sold by a business. Nifty, huh? I would check this out if you're renting or looking for some furniture or really anything else you'd check Craig's list or the classifieds for.

Country 101: KASE ain't country. These Clear Channel…read moresellouts aren't playing Texas Country- it's a bunch of Nashville "country." The kind of country that is like putting beans in your chili. That ain't country. These guys sound more like pop music or contemporary. It's all about love and stuff, where country music is generally sorta the opposite- their songs don't have any mention of prison, mamma, trucks, or gettin' drunk. So many commercials! It all sounds so formulaic. There's no personality to this corporate radio station. I don't ever hear any local musicians on here. Messing up country music in the Live Music Capital of the World is like messing with Texas. Keep turning that dial...

You see, this was my favorite station when I lived in Texas, and after having visited Austin for the weekend, I decided to Yelp about it. It's not a "pure" local country station. It's corporate - part of Clear Channel. But I don't care... so long as it has good country music. (Corporations aren't bad just because they're successful at what they do.)I've been starved of my Country music since our bay area country station went off the air, so this was a breath of fresh air. To be honest, I prefer Tennessee Country to Texas Country (I know, shame on me,) and for those who don't know, most every one of the nationally known Country artists are Tennessee Country. You know, the ones that head to Memphis in search of stardom. Anyway I do miss the city. So I'll admit part of this review is nostalgia. But I had my radio tuned to KASE for my entire weekend... except for a short stint on some other country station that billed itself as Austin's own radio station, except after accidentally setting KASE to the preset that the other station was on, I couldn't find it again. Five stars for "will always listen to this when I'm in town. And will listen to it online whenever I need my country fix."
