An amazing smooth jazz station...

I

A smooth jazz station I've known about for over 11 years is finally streaming and it is a true gem of one. The music is breathtaking. It really sounds like a smooth jazz that knows what it's doing. I want to share KYSJ 105.9 The Wave out of Coos Bay, OR:

Click the speaker icon. I hope they will make a Now Playing feature soon. I asked them to stream. WDSJ in Dayton, OH sucks balls compared to this Wave.
 
Check the WDSJ website. Looks very plain. No reference to its BA All-Stars or any other programming. Maybe finally a pre spring book blowup under way. It sounds absolutely horrible. Not just the music, but the pauses and sloppy transitions. It had to be the unwatned stepchild in that group of stations for a long time and has always sounded like it.
 
I was really hoping for a really good-sounding SJ stream but this ain't it. Severely over modulated to the max!

Having a good friend who worked for the Clear Channel "cluster" in Dayton I can tell you that WDSJ is literally a radio station in a broom closet. The programming is sat-fed from some Hogan-knows-where location with absolutely no thought given to it. As the man said, "There's no there, there."

It's crappy stations like WDSJ that give smooth jazz a bad rap (like turning the format into a non-entity by mixing in A/C).

When programmed by someone who knows the music, the back story, the labels and the artists, smooth jazz can really sail.

WDSJ is using Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz Network...as is Cincy's WCIN.

And yes the WDSJ site looks downgraded and generic...sumpin'z goin' on behind CC's closed doors.

The only real smooth jazz I've heard is low power WRPO-FM in Russells Point, Ohio at Indian Lake....only a ten mile radius signal and broadcasts in mono..but the smooth jazz leans towards traditional jazz but plays a few soft contemporary cuts from time to time.

A low power revolution can possibly take place here. If only enough smooth jazz fans sent the station some money so it can upgrade the tower to 90 or 100 feet and give the 100 watt signal a little more coverage....and with an online audiostream for the rest of us!...but that takes extra bucks to pay the licensing fees.

Truly a unique little station in a small Ohio community that once boasted an amusement park (gone since 1981) that hosted every big band and jazz band from Glenn Miller to Count Basie in its day.

No more, they dumped contemporary jazz for oldies.
