Just returned from a weekend at Glacier National Park in Montana, and was delighted to hear Smooth Jazz on the airwaves on KQJZ 1340/103.5 out of Kalispell. Though it was BA's version of Smooth Jazz, I listened for hours and really enjoyed the music. I can't believe that a small area like Kalispell has Smooth Jazz, yet Seattle has permanently abandoned the format. It's a shame!
I always thought Seattle would be one of the very LAST markets to abandon that format. It's still one of the biggest regions of hardcore Smooth Jazz fans anywhere.
But I think when San Francisco went down, the writing was on the wall for Seattle......
