What is the Streaming Archive, how it was conceived and developed?
KEXP wanted to find a way to deliver all of KEXP’s broadcast service in a format that would allow listeners to hear any KEXP program when they wanted to hear it. Due to the legal considerations surrounding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and other hot issues surrounding music on the Internet, KEXP consulted with lawyers to develop and produce the archive within legal boundaries. The University of Washington technical group developed all of the Archive’s back-end structure, and the web design company CursiveCode designed the user interface you see on our website.
