So long, smooth jazz

I just can't win with smooth jazz radio stations.


So, a while ago, I found WLOQ Orlando. It was amazing. It was basically CD 101.9 (the NYC smooth jazz station that went off the air). It's been broadcasting smooth jazz for thirty-four years. And now, five months after I discovered it, it's being sold because the owners need money for a medical emergency.



I've really gotten attached to the radio djs, after listening to the station for pretty much every day since I've found it. I'm really going to miss the LOQ Café with Robyn Austin, Smooth Ride Home with Brian Morgan, Lites Out Orlando with Alicia Kaye, the Concerts Under the Stars live from Baldwin Park. It probably sounds pathetic, but it's like I actually knew these people. It's like getting emotional when something happens to the characters on How I Met Your Mother. They're always there for you.


They say there's a possibility that they may continue broadcasting the music online, sans the djs, but it just wouldn't be the same. I've already got all the songs on my iTunes. The djs make the package.
 I'm recording their entire last week on air. Must archive all the things!
