Smooth Jazz in the D

**Meddle** · January-13-19, 07:50 AM

I don't have any interest in sports in any way, so I don't care what pay for play operations do. But if you can't see the difference between a simple single letter logo/monogram and a gang banger slang slogan, well ....

I can't say for sure, but I don't believe WJZZ would have reduced themselves to such nonsense.

Methinks you just caught yourself with pants down,with a big "D" sticking out there; Meddle. You talk about context, but really, what does gangbanger have to do with an inoffensive call letter? Really? Unless you decide to add a mock pornographic intent like I did.

You are way too uptight on this. Relask already.

The station is officially named 104.7 The Oasis.

Not a fan of "in the D" either, especially for this format, but whatever brands it "Detroit is ok by me. I love this format and blame Cheap Channel [[now iFart Media) and more specifically Alan Kepler for ruining the format. Best of luck and I will give it a listen. Detroit SO needs a smooth jazz station. Lots of markets do. Just not the way Broadcast Architecture did it.

If I could make one suggestion: get rid of the pop vocals. That's what killed the format before [[thanks to the aforementioned Mr. Kepler). There are plenty of other R&B/SJ vocals that you could play. Meeting listener expectations = success. If they expect SJ, they don't expect Bruce Hornsby.

As I've already stated, it is officially called 104.7 The Oasis. And the playlist has been substantially improved. Thanks for the support. Means a lot!

Station is doing well and audience is slowly growing. Playlist continues to be improved by leaps and bounds.

Thanks so much, everyone. Let's keep it going! New music added recently from native Detroiters Motown Moe and Deon Yates.
