CBS Radio’s 94.7 The Wave in Los Angeles has transitioned from a smooth jazz outlet to an Urban Adult Contemporary station. For many years during the hey day of the smooth jazz format, “lite” R&B titles from the likes of Sade, Luther Vandross, and others were always a part of the song lists as it was with The Wave. But now The Wave has just about dropped all smooth jazz songs from their playlists and has incorporated an Urban AC format called “Smooth R&B.” The station will compete for listeners with 102.3 KJLH, which is owned by Stevie Wonder and … Continue reading 94.7 The WAVE is now Smooth R&B

The secret to the station’s success, [Director of Programming Derrick] Brown said, is listening: “We are absolutely focused on the likes and dislikes of our listening audience, and we do our level best to meet the expectations. What we’ve seen over the years in this industry when you violate expectations, it damages your brand. I think that’s why our brand is so strong — because we listen.” After the successful run of WBMX FM 103 in the mid 70’s and 80’s, V103 arrived on the scene in 1988 with a completely different sound by putting the younger audience aside and … Continue reading V103 WVAZ Chicago/Oak Park, Illinois Celebrates 25 Years on the Air
