Anyone Still Interested in Jazz?

Is there anyone left in the market who would be willing to put a real jazz format similar to WNOP back on the air?How about it darksoldier?I would help as a sponsor. My wife wouldn't let me buy WCVG. If single, I would have. If I had, I would be single. Kinda how it goes, I guess.
 
Did you have the $1.5-$2.0 Million?There's a CP in Aurora that's going on at 1270. You could buy it and build it or get the CP amended to bring it closer to town.You should buy WCIN. $3.5 Million?
 
I am still interested in jazz. I still turn on NOP once in a while to see if it one of their sick jokes that they use to play on people ;). I was really hoping WCVG or WCIN would switch to jazz. Wonder what ever happen to Mark Stevens. He was supposed to have a broker looking for a frequency for jazz. Talked by email to the Soldier and John Kieswetter and Mark seems to be MIA.

Try WDSJ-FM in Dayton(licensed to Greenville as Smooth Jazz 106.5)http://www.daytonjazz.com
I think he's looking for real jazz, not the fake stuff they play on the smooth jazz stations. Count me in as one who's still interested in real jazz. There was nothing quite like WNOP. I've never heard a jazz station anywhere....FM non-com, NPR-affiliated, AM or FM commercial....that could match WNOP's bizarre blend of jazz and off the wall humor. Sat radio has mainstream jazz channels, but it's not the same as listening to the old WNOP.Btw, WCIN's Saturday afternoon jazz program is pretty good. Give it a listen sometime.
 
Thanks for all the input.I told Mark "Stevens" about WCVG and WCIN, and I guess his $$ man isn't interested. I told Wilbert Longmire about both, he's more interested in WCIN.I don't have $2 million in the bank, but I could have borrowed it against my business. I'm asset rich, cash poor, and dumber than a box of rocks. My wife won't let me borrow the money.106.5 is "fake" jazz, plus I get Rebel on that freq.If it is true that all Jacor stations in the market lost money except WLW, why are little nothing stations like WCVG going for $2 million? I can lose money without having to pay $2 million to do it.The 1270 AM station is to be daytime only whenever it moves closer to here.I think I covered all the questions. I have several tapes/cds of old WNOP I play quite often. It always makes me sad to hear what's happened to all radio in this market. Only Dusty's WDJO has any real personality, and I don't care for oldies. I just listen sometimes because it is the kind of radio I grew up with.Thanks again for the kind words on jazz and the old WNOP.
 
This won't help everyone yet, but when the HD radios ARE more available and more affordable, there's 24 hour jazz on WGUC's second HD signal. It's currently running JazzWorks from WDUQ in Pittsburgh, which has a nice mix of artists, styles and decades.
