Just a minor correction to Mr. Force's posting.

 

KVCM, 830 AM, Van Nuys, California

KLON, 88.1 FM, Long Beach, California

 

Just two of the hottest jazz stations in the Los Angeles area.  I listen to them every time I go down there to visit my sister.

Since New York City and Los Angeles have no commercial jazz radio stations, it's not surprising Moscow doesn't either. It's a symptom of concentration of ownership and homoginzation in the commercial radio industry.

 

The new satellite radio systems have multi-channels of any kind of music you'd like, but the receivers are expensive, and there's a monthly fee for the programming.

Moscow is the "Heart of the Arts" and there's a Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival here every year, but there's very little access to Jazz on the radio. I say "little" because NPR doesn't really count as continuous Jazz. There's no counting the Country music stations on FM and AM, though I prefer not to count or listen to them.

 

I'm surprised the Univ.of Idaho doesn't have a Jazz or Classical station. I realize Jazz comes in many different styles, but isn't there a home for it in Moscow?

 

I'm wondering if there's any Jazz radio history here in Moscow? Has anyone ever given it a try? There are certainly an abundance of merchants in the area to provide advertising dollars. Or is there a Jazz station and I just haven't found it on the dial?
