It’s A Tough Day To Be Boney James
Will the last smooth jazz station to leave the air blow out the candles? Houston’s own The Wave has flipped formats from the soothing sounds of Paul Hardcastle and Candy Dulfer to a contemporary hits format which according to the station manager will feature tracks from “Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, the Jonas Brothers and Christina Aguilera” as well as presumably other sorts of urbanish selections white people can feel comfortable with. By my count, this leaves 26 terrestrial stations reporting to the “Smooth AC” format. Citizens of Sacramento, enjoy “Smooth Jazz 97.4” KSSJ while you can, before the unsophisticated hoi polloi take over your station, I beg of you! [Houston Chronicle]
