KISS92.fm design: technology doesn't get in the way of info

Source: Radio and Internet Newsletter. August 13, 2001.

From Toronto, Canada, comes the purple-themed site of Rogers Communications hits station Kiss92. Boldly using the new .fm tag, Kiss92.fm is a well-designed companion to its broadcast, complete with all of the information about Kiss92's music, people, and "goings-on."

In fact, they've done a great job with presenting all the important information (for instance, about their contests) -- and it's all easy to find.
When loading up the Kiss92.fm page, you might notice that it calls up Flash and Java. These are two popular technologies which can be used either properly or improperly, and Kiss92.fm seems to do a pretty good job of using both the technologies well. Java seems to be used to run the "What's playing" list, and Flash runs a little announcement box on the page. The point being, the page uses these various technologies yet still manages to look uniform, which is generally something that pages using only one of those technologies have trouble doing.

There's very little the station seems to lack: It has relevant information presented in an attractive manner, but doesn't overload on the information and try to become a portal substitute. All in all, a well done site.
