It seems that KIFM's change to Smooth AC has worked as its July Arbitron ratings had it at 4.5 (ranked 7th) just behind KYXY who had a 4.6 (ranked 6th). For me, I am a Smooth Jazz fan first and foremost but is this new format that focuses "Smooth Vocals" as the basis and only sprinkles in instrumentals every so often better than the previous Smooth Jazz format? What do you think?
