Cue Sheet – November 24th, 2010

CLASSICAL LISTINGS, AGAIN

A lot of people recently have been unable to find the classical listings online, and in truth the system put in place during the site redesign several months ago doesn't take into account what people ask about most. Until a few days ago, you had to scroll down the KUAT-FM home page to find the listings info at the bottom. Clicking that would take you to a page that displayed only the syndicated programs--for the most part, the concert shows we air at night, when we have the fewest listeners. The listings for the rest of the day, when we have the most listeners, are available only when you take an extra step: clicking on the individual date line. Now, it says right at the top, "click a date to see full listings," but a lot of people just don't see that.

So, for instance, you'll find the rundown of the month's syndicated shows here, but you have to click on a date to get a full listing of what we're playing the rest of the day. Drilling down through the site will take you to a page like this, which will give you most of the detail you need.

Obviously, that's not user-friendly for a lot of our friendly users, so some changes are in the works. Already, the Web guys have moved the basic listing info up to the top of the page. Re-doing the deeper listings displays will take more work, though, so don't expect that to change very soon. In the meantime, keep digging away--or feel free to call me while I'm on the air, and I can look something up for you.
