I was not really sure where to post this new site, which is just now up and running ... but this does seem to be the most suitable place. Enjoy ....

Thanks for posting this. Not surprising that wunderkind Ken Poston is behind this. What an incredible asset this guy is to the jazz community. He worked wonders while he was at KLON. Now it seems like KJAZZ is intent on tearing down everything the "good guys" spent years to build there. What a horror show this station has become. Dreadful pity.

Yes, I agree totally! The station has declined enormously, and for that reason I do most of my internet jazz listening on KCSM-FM ... have you tried that?

I'll check it out, garthsj. Currently I'm a member of WBGO (Newark, N.J.) and KSDS. (San Diego) I used to do a program on the latter, so I tend to spend a fair amount of time listening to my buddies on that station.
