KCRW launched a brand new format for KCRWmusic.com. It’s now got more music, more global, more deejays, more information, plus two new podcasts. If you’ve been listening, you have probably noticed that things have sounded a little different in recent weeks. Here are a couple of things that will help you navigate through the change: to hear Morning Becomes Eclectic or Metropolis live, switch your streaming channel to the simulcast of KCRW’s on-air broadcast at the respective time; playlists for the live shows are at KCRW.com and playlists for KCRWmusic.com shows are at KCRWmusic.com (check the NOW PLAYING feature planted in the middle of the homepage); and if you live in New York, San Francisco or Washington, D.C. – you can win tickets to KCRW.com Presents shows from the new KCRWmusic.com site.
Here is the breakdown (each program is 2 hours and repeats 3 times a day – all times below are Pacific time).
Weekdays
New Ground with Chris Douridas (streams at Noon, 8PM, 4AM)

Lawrence scours the stacks of new or forgotten releases including a look at what’s in stores that week.
