One very important aspect that has not been established here in Phoenix is what venues are available over the airwaves for Smooth Jazz. After extensive research, I could only find the following three -
- KYOT 95.5 FM
- XM Watercolors - featuring Smooth Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Instrumental Pop, Jazz Pop, Fusion
- Sirius Jazz Cafe - a sophisticated soundtrack of Smooth Jazz instrumentals and vocals
I would also like to note that XM and Sirius will require you to be a paying member and will require a satellite receiving unit to listen to their broadcasts. Internet streaming is also available.
KYOT is a local station and is located at 4686 E. Van Buren Street, Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ 85008. Tel: 602-374-6000.
Unfortunately, there is not much for Phoenix in the way of local radio for Smooth Jazz. But, at least there is something. Hopefully, rankings are high and we won't see a demise as in the case of CD101.9 and many other great stations.
Over the next few days, I will be posting about other stations in Phoenix that feature Jazz within their programming schedule.
