Kansas City Online Radio
receives a load of great comments praising the station, one described it as ‘the
Internet’s premier 24/7 free blues radio station’.
The station is, therefore,
particularly please to announce that amongst its very varied roster of blues
‘DJs’ from around the world, are a number from the UK who have featured
prominently in recent awards announcements.
In September, the
Independent Blues Broadcaster category in the British Blues Awards 2012 was won
by Gary Grainger (The Blues Show with Gary Grainger) with Dave Raven (Raven ‘n’
Blues) being the second runner up. Also nominated in this category were Ashwyn
Smyth (Digital Blues), Bob & Norm (The Blues Show with Bob & Norm) and
Martin Clarke (The Blues Session, a regular feature on KCOR until recently and
returning soon – we hope!). So five of the top seven independent blues shows
from the UK are on
KCOR!
In the latest edition
(December/January) of Blues Matters!, the leading specialist blues magazine in
the UK, the results of their Writers’ Poll for 2012 are published and in Best
Blues Radio Show/Station (UK) category Gary Grainger came third with Ashwyn
Smyth and Martin Clarke also being recognised. So 50% of those named in a
category that was won by BBC Radio 2’s Paul Jones are on
KCOR!
Troy Schell, the Owner of
KCOR, said ‘ Its great that KCOR has on it’s schedule so many of the UK DJs who
are recognised as being at the top of their game by both the British Blues
Awards and Blues Matters! Our thanks and congratulations go to them and this
serves to confirm that the KCOR team includes many of the top presenters from
around the world, all dedicated to bringing the best of the blues to our
wonderful listeners.’
