This Weekend on Coyote Radio


Howdy Coyotistas!

Our fourth weekend of experimental community radio broadcasting on AM 1670. Sigh, just a month ago we were hauling the transmitter up on that roof and trying to get that grounding rod hammered into this Arizona "soil."

Are we going to see snow this weekend? Will it ever warm up? Tune in and snuggle up, babys, this weekend we bring you DJ sets from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - celebrating the history of Swing Music and a little band called Gogol Bordello; a smile on your face from DJ Leslie Stevens' " good time oldies, comedy radio theater from the Coyotes and a whole lot more.

Tune in, Stay in and warm up, that's what we say!


Also, remember March is "DJ for a Day" month at KYXS - Coyote Radio! To spin your own tunes in Studio A, click here.
