What happened to cd 101.9? they claim their audience has delcined, so now it's a rock station. Are they kidding? Is there another station even similar? I don't know of one.

All smooth jazz stations are bad for the environment.

I was wondering where the station went, too! My kids loved to have that station on at night at bedtime but last night I thought something was wrong with the radio! Any ideas of how to bring it back.... or know of another good nighttime station?

I love smooth jazz. That's a shame because I used to play that station all the time when I lived in Jersey 12 years ago.

I have Direct TV which has I dunno, 50 or so music stations. We have one called Watercolors (Which is all smooth jazz). I play it all the time with NO commercials. I know that Comcast cable (We used to have cable when we lived in San Francisco) offers something similiar.
Check it out.

Good Luck,
Shanny

Try radio Disney for your children. AM 640 I believe. Jazz was smooth before they came up with "Smooth Jazz".

Yep, I play smooth jazz for my kids as well, using the TV. At night, when my 2 yo is going down, he hears that or Easy Listening.

Velvet Underground, REM, and then:

3.Elvis Costello - Pump It Up
4.Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance
5.Blondie - Call Me
6.The Bravery - Believe
7.Bruce Springsteen - Blinded By The Light
8.The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize
9.U2 - Angel Of Harlem
10.Nickelback - Rockstar
11.Red Hot Chili Peppers - Zephyr Song
12.The Black Crowes - Hard To Handle
13.The Killers - Somebody Told Me

If this is considered what rock is now, I need a new word to describe my preferred music.

*EDIT* - My comment is because I was briefly hopeful I had something I could listen to now that 92.3 adjusted its playlists to include crap. I would have preferred jazz myself.

Smooth Jazz is "smooth" to differentiate from more “urban” music all with vocals and a much stronger beat.

Any alternative stations?

So now no country and no jazz in NY? I think most of these station buyouts are from bigshots who think they know what will work in a market. So how many rock stations in NY now? Yea good luck with the competition.
Anyway as far as jazz there's 97.5 in the Princeton/Philadelphia market. If you can't get that in you may as well invest in recorded music or satellite

By my count, none. 89.5 doesn't have alot of power, so it doesn't cover much area. K-Rock changed to playing Foo Fighters and Chili Peppers every 5 minutes, with some additional junk in the middle. The rest are classic rock, which is decidedly different (imho) than just plain old rock.
