  • An idea for KORL AM

    Now that KORL AM 1180 is off the air, I have an idea for that station. I think KORL AM 1180 should feature traditional jazz to complement KORL FM 101.1's smooth jazz format. Traditional jazz artists include Miles Davis, Anita O'Day, Gene Krupa, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Carmen McRae, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, and Dave Brubeck. I believe that the age of traditional jazz music is fit for AM radio.

    They should also devote one prime time hour each day to the music of Chet Baker.

      If by "traditional," you mean swing, big band, and be bop jazz from the 1930s-1950s, I would agree. (Although Miles made some pretty progressive stuff later in his career.) The vast majority of the recordings from this era are in mono, so an AM outlet would be appropriate. But let's be realistic. The audience that would be attracted to such programming in this day and age is going to be pretty limited. And the target demographic (60 years and up) is hardly appealing to most advertisers.

          If they play that Karate Kid theme on a loop, I'm all for it.

            I want an all Enya station.... but that should be on FM.... oh well, I have my iPod. That is what those are for. Program your own stations in your own ear.
            I'm still here. Are you?
