For Those Who Love To Rock


Hey everyone!


As many of you know, Skillet is coming to town on the 30th of this month. That in mind, I have been thinking about something for a while, and I need your feedback.


We are considering the launch of a weekly rock show here at KAXL.


Here is the idea: I would launch a rock show that would probably only be about 2 hours long, once a week. So, for example, it may be every Saturday from 7-9. Now, we are not changing formats, don't worry. What we want to do is reach out to those, more specifically youth, who wouldn't otherwise listen to our station. There is a TON of solid, Christian artists in the rock industry that I would love to expose younger listeners to. Especially those youth who think that the only good rock music is not Christian. I'm out to prove that wrong!


What I want from you is some feedback. How would you feel about having a rock show here on Life FM? Do you support it? Remember, think in terms of outreach. Even if you are not a fan of rock (possibly some rap), how do you feel about us having a show like that as an additional outreach?


Nothing is for sure yet, we just want to get your feedback, and I will keep you updated. I am very familiar with the Christian rock scene, and only artists who I trust are truely serving the Lord would be played. Please leave me a comment with your thoughts!!

Time to WIN!


I told you to keep an eye on this blog for a chance to win free stuff. That chance is NOW! Over the last couple weeks, I have been playing a LOT of interviews. From my 'week of interviews' from GMA to my Anne Rice interview today (Thursday 5-8) and tomorrow.

Here is how you can win right now. Let me know who else you would like to hear interviewed! Could be a band, author, celebrity, or whatever! Email me at MATT@KAXL.COM right now, and the first response I get with 'BLOG CONTEST' in the subject line will win.

I am giving away a copy of Half-Life/Die Already: How I Died and Lived to Tell About It by Mark Steele. He is a hilarious man, and this is a memoir about how he dealt with some difficult things in his life, but written in a way that makes you laugh. A lot. AND, I'm also going to tuck a couple coupons to Dewars in the pages as well.

It pays to read the blogs! Email me right now, and be sure to include your name and phone number so we can contact you.
