Skyline Sessions

Collaborative, digital first effort to produce local music acts. Used for radio, TV and digital. We tapped into local interest in behind the scene music to be delivered to phones, iPad and laptops. “Skyline Sessions is a web series showcasing exceptional music performances by artists based in Houston and beyond. Our state-of-the-art George B. Geary Performance Studio hosts musicians in an intimate setting with an emphasis on capturing the unique experience of live studio recording.

Only in El Paso

In 2013 KCOS launched Only in El Paso, a web video series that tells positive and unique stories about the people and places one can only find in El Paso. The goal is to provide opportunities to area filmmakers and to expand perceptions El Paso. The project is created and produced in partnership with local filmmakers. Also collaborating are Destination El Paso and PBS Digital Studios. To date three full seasons of mini-documentaries have been completed reaching over 100,000 viewers.

Live at Howard’s

As a kid, I used to watch PBS late night programming in which grungy music shows would come on. I took that memory and tried adapting it to our community. We partner with a great dive bar to create a new show that brings local area talent “to the masses” at a state-wide level. The first pilot aired in December and have been shooting episodes for the past few months with the first season set for the first of September.

Radio Boise Tuesday

Every Tuesday night Radio Boise hosts national, regional or local bands at Neurolux, Boise’s most popular music venue which donates 20% of drink sales to the station. The event features a Radio Boise DJ who spins before and after each show, promoting the station. Each show is broadcast live. The goal is to raise awareness about Radio Boise and raise funds, but also to provide a strong off-night show in the Boise market for emerging touring bands and indie headliners.

The KVIE Art Gallery

KVIE has been doing a live televised art auction (245 plus pieces over 3 days) for over 30 years. To support all the artists who donate work for the auction, we decided to open an art gallery in our station. We remodeled unused lobby space. Artists now show and sell work through 6 exhibitions each year. The gallery, open Mon- Fri, requires no additional staffing.
