Replacement station?

P

Pebble

As you know, KOAS Las Vegas dumped smooth jazz...and the format they adopted isn't doing it for me. Can anyone recommend a Broadcast Architecture smooth jazz station I can listen to online? I know people like to rip BA on these boards, but I really liked what I was hearing, even voicetracked Dave Koz in the afternoons. There's no accounting for taste, I guess.
 
Dave Koz is the best and perhaps only thing BA has going for it right now. However, when I visit Ocean City, MD, I reluctantly still tune in WQJZ 97.1 in Ocean Pines in the car (stream my own station in my hotel room). They do stream at online at www.wqjz.com. Former longtime Jones Radio Networks affiliate. Despite what is becoming an increasingly unlistenable product, the station itself still has a resort feel to it. They do a really good job with their spots/local segments---very much have a resort feel. None of this Geico/big corporate nonsense.

We rip BA, not their listeners. I respect all listeners' tastes, and if BA does it for you, enjoy it. Not sure how long their Smooth Jazz product is going to be around with this Chillout thing being unveiled. This board tends to attract people who have followed this genre since its inception, and let's just say that many believe BA is largely responsible for the format's demise on terrestrial radio.

Hi Ms. Kepler, nice to see you posting on the board. I see you just joined Radio-Info, so welcome aboard!

Please inform your husband he's doing a hell of a job running the format into the ground.

Thanks!
 
Thanks to all for the suggestions--I'll poke around online and see what I find. Kepler and his people probably *do* have a lot to answer for as far as the rise and fall of the SJ format goes, but that notwithstanding, there was some halfway interesting stuff on there, weekend programs like Ramsey Lewis' Legends of Jazz and that Mindi Abair show.
