Thanks for the tip, I’ll have a listen. Every city should have something like this.

Sad to hear another jazz station is shutting down. It’s really a testament to the lack of interest in the country to real music.I remember when I was younger(and showing my age)when jazz was mixed into the playlists on many AM stations. But Philly has one that is still going strong, WRTI, from Temple U. They just changed a few years ago to classical during the day and jazz at night. I donate to them every year and hope the few remaining jazz stations in the US are supported enough to continue on so future generations can hear the great sounds.

As true jazz programming fails in several markets, KMHD 89.1 out of Portland, Oregon is a worldwide accessible jazz station that will not disappoint too many people........streaming online......great dee jays and great programming.....

WICN out of Worcester MA and on
the web still offers jazz
programming albeit a weaker
signal.

Music is being assaulted on
all sides...try to make an
album or sell it,let alone get
it played on air...sirius xm
and the cloud are not the
answer...Pandora? A new model
needs to be in place or all
we will have is the top 10
LMFAO/Beiber/Usher twilight
zone . Boston has taken a big
hit on this one..Eric has
offered a wonderful evening
show for nearly a generation.
Ron Della Chiesa is gone. I
still miss Robert J Lurtsema
and his 7am chirping birds
quiet, slow motion opening
segment.

Just another example, methinks, of modern culture forfeiting (or being robbed of) the wonders and insights of the right brain on behalf of the self-important, totalitarian left. Looks like news shows will replace jazz programming during the weeknight slots.

This is a terrible thing.. .But it doesn’t
surprise me.. Thats why it’s so important
to educate young people about jazz, Talk
to them about it, tell them who to listen
to, and if given the chance play them
some of you favorite artists. And most
importantly take them to a jazz
show/concert.
