Innnteresting…

Don Day | May 31, 2005

So I did a little digging on KIZN’s Flash applet that displays current song information.

It’s not just a KIZN thing — or Citadel for that matter.

Punch up http://206.165.114.205/ and type in a stations calls. Up pops the current song. I tried several different stations — KIZN, KRVB, KJOT, KCIX — even KTPZ — and they all work.

I can’t verify if the data is actually correct – though it’s sourced to something called MediaGuide.

See a sample for KTPZ.

    I played with this a bit, the Citadel stations definitley work and the songs are atually on. J 105 was correct too. The River was off a couple of times that I checked, but I tried again in a couple of songs and it was accurate too. Laptop + radio + boredom = a pretty cool tool you’ve found here Don.

    Weird, it’s the YES bar… it’s monitoring stations in SLC too. For a while KXRK and KJQN/KNJQ had it on their sites, but now they’re back to this crappy “Last 5″ applet that doesn’t seem to work too well…

    Citadel’s KENZ here uses it too.
