Smooth Jazz Radio in Denver is no more.

Here's the farewell letter from Smooth Jazz Denver <#event1>
Greetings!

Smooth Jazz is.....you fill in the blank. Here we go again! Last month, Smooth Jazz station CD 101.9 in NYC left, less than 30 days later, last Friday, DC's Smooth Jazz station WJZW is gone, and now today, less than a week later, we just received word that Denvers Smooth Jazz station announced to all of it's radio personalities and staff this morning, that the station will flip formats and become a sports station. WOW! Are internet radio stations and non-traditional marketing options the new ticket for
artists now? hmmmmm?

My good friend my former WNUA music director The legendary Michael Fischer has been the the program director in Denver for quite a while now. Remember the good ole days at WNUA/ Chicago when the music was awesome the station supported Indy artists by playing their music?

Well, Michael Fischer was behind that whole push to support new talent!. He did the same thing for Indy artists in Denver all of these years. Mike Fischer has a great heart and a real love for good music. Like me, he's always gotten really excited over new talent! Mikes favorite words..."That's Killer". I'm sure Michael Fischer is going to help artist in some way, in the very near future. Good Luck Mike. You know I luv ya!

Please stay tuned for our sound off Candid JAZZBLAST! Over the last 30 days, I've received over 15 full pages of email feedback reg arding these latest smooth jazz radio closings... What are people saying about it?......Stay tuned!!!

Here's the farewell letter from Smooth Jazz Denver
What station will be next?





Dear Smooth Jazz 104.3 Listener.
We are sad to announce that Smooth Jazz will no longer be available on the 104.3FM frequency. Due to declining audience ratings over the past couple years combined with a decline in advertising support from our clients, we had no choice but to make the difficult decision to remove the Smooth Jazz format from the 104.3 frequency. .

The staff of Smooth Jazz 104.3 would like to thank you for your support over these past 8 years. As many of you know, Smooth Jazz has been on an FM station in Denver for nearly 20 years as prior to Smooth Jazz 104.3 coming on the air, KHIH better remembered at K-HIGH programmed Smooth Jazz for many n years before changing format itself.

Once again from all of us at Smooth Jazz 104.3. Thank you for your years of support!
