For all practical purposes, its April Fools! But we're not gonna fool you here...
Right about 2009 or 2010, Smooth Jazz on terrestrial radio fell off of a cliff. Of course, other formats were profitable, and tastes changed, we understand that.
But recently at a gathering of the best in radio, the idea was pitched to bring back smooth jazz to the radio. We were initially excited and intrigued by the idea, but just the idea.
The idea went sideways from there. Talking of jazz as if it hadn't "evolved" enough, the man presenting the idea that they bring back something to the radio similar to what was done in New York, with CD101.9. The ONE big difference is that it would have an "evolved" look and feel. "We could include other smooth formats into smooth jazz, smooth pop, maybe rock, even some country. Those are respectable formats in their own right, but of course they aren't jazz.
We've watched closely the huge following smooth jazz, that plays jazz, has gathered online. The genre is an integral part of who we are, so we're announcing that we'll continue highlighting the best smooth jazz, soft jazz, light jazz, whatever you want to call it, it'll be here!
We still believe in the saxaphone, the trumpet, the sound that makes jazz what it is, nothing that country can do, nothing that pop or rock can do.
Some ideas can be pitched, but smooth jazz was also an idea, until it became a mainstay, and now stands the test of time...

If you’re unfamiliar with this jazz subgenre, here’s what you need to know about the smooth jazz genre.

Hey guys, it's been a long while since I've posted here, but Happy New Years! Today is the first day of 2023, and in the first week of this year, I'll add a lot more music to the lineup.
Also a notable change this year, on November 15th, we're bringing a 40 day program over from our previous sister station Truth Radio who signed off last night, it's called "Reason for the Season". The reason for Christmas isn't necessarily the gifts, or the lights, or the snow, or anything else like that, it's Jesus Christ. He'll be the focus of the Christmas season, in 10.5 months from now.
But for now, coming up Valentine's Day, we'll have our regular music mix, as all our love songs are being poured into our new station "Elizabeth FM" which debuts fully January 2nd at 7pm, but is now streaming at Truth Radio's old site.
We also keep Halloween a fun and festive day in 10 months or so.
New music includes Jim Chappell, Tim Janis, and more, it's on the way soon.
Happy 2023 from the Scenic Route Internet Radio!
