Aloha!
Sorry to necro this tread, gents, but I'm a fan of Terrestrial Radio Jazz streaming, and just found it in the archives. I had no idea that KCSM almost went toes-up - according to the press. In any event, I'm glad it did not because at the moment I am streaming KCSM and "Jazz Oasis", which I do almost every night Monday - Saturday at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific, 3 PM Hawaiian.
I also stream KSDS San Diego, CJRT Toronto, WUCF Orlando, WDCB Chicago, KUWL Wyoming (a Pub Jazz Affiliate Station), KBEM Minneapolis, WBGO New York (technically New Jersey), and sometimes KNKX (or Jazz 24) if the mood strikes.
Alisa@kcsm.net made a comment that set me back on my heels. I never thought about it, but truly I think KCSM may still be the only Jazz station that does NOT run ancillary programming of any kind. No weather reports, no news, no traffic, no nothing - until pledge drive time of course. I'll have to think about it. I know WUCF runs news, CJRT (being Canadian) runs commercials even though they are a public radio station. KUWL has news breaks. WBGO does. KBEM certainly does. KNKX does. But I am not sure about KSDS nor WCBE. I'll have to do some critical listening because I honestly can't remember, even though I stream them constantly.
Nothing on my FM dial in Hawaii for Jazz that even approaches full time. In my Florida pad I'm too far away to get WUCF, other than a faint ghosting signal, so it's all streaming for me. And I'm glad to have it.
Mahalo!
