Guest Survey Guy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 If Binghamton were to get a Smooth Jazz radio station is there anyone here who would listen to the station? I have been a fan of smooth jazz since I was 15 and think the Binghamton area should acquire a radio station as well. I realize we have a jazz station here already, but it's too classical for me. Anyone else agree? If you don't understand the art of jazz don't post asinine comments please!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Bulger Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 buy a sirius radio and you will have it. I have had sirius for years now and i never listen to reg radio anymore. You can listen to several types of jazz on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand the art of jazz don't post asinine comments please!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate jazz, but i think there is a market for it. i know many people who listen to it and also attend jazz shows around town, if they can find it. they tell me the clubs who have such concerts usually have good turn out. the problem is that owning a radio station isn't about the music, it is about money. jazz may be a risk they aren't willing to take, but i think a locally owned station could do quite well with it.

Guest Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I listen to Jazz all the time but not on local radio and not so much the smooth variety of jazz. It's a big part of the reason I have a satelite radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest metal Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 elaborate!!! it's funny how different styles of music have sub-genres within them. i don't know what "smooth" jazz is. i thought jazz was jazz. metal is the same way, despite ill informed judgments about it. i've been told country even has feuds with old country or new country. i would kill myself either way on that one. what i'm trying to say is if a station dedicates itself to a specific style music, i think they get a more dedicated audience. by the same token, if they play ALL of a general style, their ratings might go up. it's their money. i guess that's why satellite is so popular. there is no local FM station i can listen to.

If you're suggesting merging other styles of jazz to the station, that's not a bad idea in itself! I was going to post this origianlly, but wanted to get some takes on smooth jazz first. If there is any other types of jazz anyone likes please suggest it!!!! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The jazz station we have is too... classical? WSQX (the jazz station) plays a lot of "lite" jazz as it is - how much smoother do you want it? If anything, I'd like to hear a little more freeform jazz rather than what they play now, but it's not a bad jazz station at all, especially for a market this size.

Guest rerun Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I don't think this area would support a smooth jazz station. Between WSQX and XM satellite radio I get my jazz fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
