KCWN Smartphone App for iPhone and Android!
The KCWN smartphone app is here! You can download it for FREE on your iPhone or Android smartphone – with the app you can listen to KCWN, see a list of recent songs played, use an alarm to wake up to our broadcast, use the ShoutOut! function to record and send a voice message right to the studio, and so much more!
For those of you concerned about running out of data – we stream our broadcast at 64kbps. If you listen to our broadcast for an hour, you will use 23.04 megabytes of data. Listening an our a day for 30 days would use 691.2 MB of cellular data.
Don’t forget, if you’re connected to wi-fi, you’re not using any cellular data at all!
Download the app today, use it, be blessed and share hope!
KCWN Amazon Echo Alexa Skill!
Did you get an Amazon Echo product for Christmas, or know of someone that did? Well now you can use your Echo device to listen to KCWN without having to lift a finger! How does it work? Step 1 is adding the Alexa skill to your Echo device; doing this is a simple as saying, “Alexa, Enable KCWN.” That simple, 3-word command will add the skill to your smart home device. Once enabled, you can say “Alexa, listen to KCWN, “Alexa, Open KCWN,” or “Alexa, Play KCWN” and your Echo device will start playing our live broadcast! We hope this exciting new technology is helpful and makes it even easier to life-giving, uplifting music here at 99.9, Where Hope Shines!
