These new owners can go to hell! They have forced me to put Sirius radio in my car and I have found a station that has a format very equal to CD 101.9 which was renamed WATERCOLORS on chanel 71. The former name was Jazz Cafe. WATERCOLORS has definately took away...

Maybe Clear Channel or another one of Emmis's competitors would take this opportunity to fill the void left by Emmis and start a new Smooth Jazz station. This would be a good opportunity for any broadcast company.

I don't know how long this will last but this station that has replaced CD 101 ,while it's not jazz - It's Good NO Great Rock and Roll. They might be playing Bruce Springsteen, but they're playing 10th avenue Freeze out - NOT - Born in the USA for the umpteen millionth time. Here are songs I...

Well, Punky...it's business and the radio business is down right now. Radio companies all over are cutting back or changing direction. It's a shame. They blamed declining ratings, but there's also been big problems selling air time all over. I would bet that was the big problem. So many companies are hiring rookie sales people who don't know the station they are selling and how to sell and there's more and more...

Your comments are bias and stereotypical. What kind of craze are YOU!!! I am not black and I am 100% straight!!! This station is not about RACE OR GENDER -- KEEP THAT TOPIC FOR A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION -- WE ARE DISCUSSING MUSIC MR. TOM ROCK HEAD!!!!! WE WANT CD 101.9 BACK -- END OF CONVERSATION.

I am sick to have lost a wonderful smooth jazz radio station like CD101.9. I have been listening to the station since moving to CT in 1989. Pittsburgh lost its smooth jazz station several years also. Even though I have sirrus radio, I continued to tune into CD101.9 on a regular basis. In addition, 101.9 was my avenue for smooth jazz concerts and other informative jazz news. The bottom is, the lost of 101.9 makes me sick. Please smooth jazz...

I feel the same way. Sirius has three jazz stations, one plays Boney James and Al Jerau. I will be humming the jingle as well. Maria from Brooklyn NY wrote: Not good, not good. I am greatly disappointed! My favorite radio station is gone. No more smooth jazz CD 101.9. What a sad day in radio history. To the management responsible for making this horrible decision .... you can run, but you can't hide. The rhythm is gonna get ya. Slowly but...

Yes, Watercolors is a great station! I can also listen to it over the computer if I wanted. Maria from Brooklyn NY wrote: And if anyone wants to know where I'll be tuning in from here on in, it's Watercolors on XM. In between songs, I'll just have to hum the tune ...
