2007

This site is now serving as the archive for the radio show "betweenthelines", which aired on KUCI from 2002 - 2006. I will try to post older playlists in time, feel free to look around. Comments are welcomed.

state of the show

Dear listeners and friends,

I will be taking an unexpected break from doing the show for the next few months. My hope is to resume things by this summer, although it will most likely be on a different day and time.

So what happened you ask? All shows at KUCI work on a renewal system for each school quarter, and for the first time in 5 years I missed the deadline by about 10 hours!

I want to say thank you to all listeners of the show, and all the record labels that have been very supportive to myself and the station. betweenthelines was on the air for over 4 years nonstop, and will be back as soon as possible. I will remain active in the experimental music dept at KUCI. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, stories, support...etc.
Thank you again, and please be patient...
Sincerely,
James

about the show

betweenthelines 2002 - 2006

This is the home of betweenthelines, a weekly radio show that aired on KUCI 88.9fm in Irvine. I began with a show at KUCI in 2002. You can listen live online at kuci.org, as well as on iTunes>radio>public. The show primarily focused on playing instrumental, ambient, post rock, jazz, minimalist and classical music that is not well known. This year, I decided to take a break from the show and devote more time to school. I hope to return at some point, and really enjoyed the time I had sharing music with listeners.

KUCI has been broadcasting since 1969 from the University of Irvine campus. Programming can be heard 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
