After Hours FM is going strong, but is not great at marketing ourselves or keeping up on social media content!
We need help! Now seeking volunteers.
Here are a few things we can tell you for now:

We do not have a top 20 prepared for this week (again) but here's a look at our recent adds to the Heavy rotation (in no particular order):
#1 Spice Boys featuring Boys "Think About You a Lot" from the album Speed 2
#2 Candy "Super-Stare" from their new 7-inch on Relapse
#3 Matt Talbott "Sinister Webs (Rough Mix)," a teaser for his forthcoming solo record coming in Spring 2020
#4 Midnight "Rebirth by Blasphemy" from their new digital single
#5 Firewalker "The Mystery" from their self-released demo EP The Roll Call
#6 Slow Caves "Follow Up" from their album Falling
#7 Hatchie "Unwanted Guest" from the album Keepsake
#8 (Sandy) Alex G "Bad Man" from the album House Of Sugar
And here are some After Hours FM streams on Mixcloud:

Saturday, July 27, 2019
After Hours from Wedneday and Thursday night are both streaming!
It does a thing where you can hover the curser over the "play" button and hear a preview.
Our station is in the process of switching some of the computers, so these are both taped direct from the 91.7 signal which is cool except that it only plays one channel so some of the older songs that overuse the stereo fidelity might sound weird and incomplete.

From late Monday night / Tuesday morning after Late Night Noise. Captures will be sourced from the soundboard until further notice.

After Hours Live 06/21/2019 -- taped off the board
Lots of new and classic metal in the 1st hour from Riot City, Midnight, Three Knee Deep, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Slipknot, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cannibal Corpse, Pig Destroyer, and new Rammstein.

Stream Weds 06/19/19 -- taped from the 91.7 FM signal
This one sounds good. We forgot that only one channel gets recorded when we tape off the FM signal because of a wiring problem, so a few occasional songs might sound like something is missing. We might possibly only post stuff taped off the board in the future.

Forgot to post this last week --
There's a Spotify playlist updated Thursdays, except we will probably not update right away and leave it with last week's top 20 because we forgot to post it here until now.
New update coming this weekend.

A lot of the little bugs have been worked out, and so it's time to try capturing some of this.
Here's a capture from Thursday night June 13th recorded off the soundboard. We'll try posting another one later this weekend taped from the radio signal and see if it sounds any better/worse.

WXCI After Hours is here!!!
Launching almost two weeks ago on the night of May 31st around 10:15PM, WXCI After Hours is a new commercial-free extended overnight block of radio programming focusing on an array of artists both new and classic in the worlds of metal, loud rock, and alternative.
After hearing too many complaints about "the death of rock" or "the death of rock radio," After Hours wants to prove those people wrong. Stop being insulted by iHeartRadio and Spotify Radio and SiriusXM's commercialized algorithmic data-driven idea of what "modern rock" or "hard rock" radio is supposed to sound like. In either case, commercial "rock radio's" days are numbered. In reality, rock never left. It never died. It's still here, and bullshit survey data won't keep us from bringing it to you.
We notice a similar problem with Top 40 radio. We'd love to find time for an additional extended "alternative pop" block, which feasibly could happen at some point. But we figure fans of non-charting pop hits don't have as much trouble finding the latest singles from Robyn or Kim Petras or Charli XCX or Carly Rae Jepsen or Lizzo. We're prioritizing rock because it's in trouble. Rock needs our help, and an attempt to bring back real "Rock Radio" could be the answer to this problem; at the very least, it might help spark some other solutions far down the road.
Since we realize that no one wants to stay up until 5AM listening to the radio, we'll be doing what we can to offer extended audio captures on our Mixcloud account -- which can then be streamed anytime you desire. For anyone interested, we'll also offer a couple Spotify playlists updated bi-weekly with the same songs. All this and more coming soon.
