New feature – find station by keyword

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Fred Stiening

People other than radio geeks rarely search by callsign. Starting tonight, I’m gathering the home page titles (there are a lot to gather!), but now if you use the station search, it will return stations that match your search – like Jazz, ESPN, Rock, Philly, etc

    Every station should have a title at this point. If the web page didn’t have a title, it is set to the station name i.e. KIDD-FM.

    Since it’s clear automation is going to be necessary, that’s where resources will be focused. Every station should have been checked for issues – in excess of 1000 are marked as needing human review. My priority is major markets. Errors in Saipan will have to wait.

    Spotting format changes is much easier now – just pick a format, then scan the titles for something unexpected like a news/talk station carrying hip hop
