Smooth Jazz being dumped
At 6 p.m. today, Smooth Jazz 97.5 will be taken off the air.
This just in: Greater Media will take smooth jazz off WJJZ (97.5) at 6 p.m. Friday. There will be "stunting" over the weekend, and the new format, still unspecified, will launch at 9 a.m. Monday. Adult contemporary, maybe? News/talk, a la the old WWDB?
Smooth jazz was heard at 106.1 for 13 years until Clear Channel dumped the format Aug. 10, 2006. Greater Media picked it up Nov. 17, 2006, at 97.5.
The format was dogged by low ratings, even in its 35-plus demographics.
