WLFM 87.7 Smooth Jazz Chicago will establish itself as a station *The People* want to hear, not what the corporate shirts want us to hear. Sorry corporate people, YOU are the losers!!!
WLFM will adapt to the internet and whatever technology comes our way in the coming years, no need to worry about the LP-TV channels eventually going digital, WLFM will find a way!
And your signal from WLFM 87.7 will improve this coming Friday or Saturday, especially in the north and northwest suburbs when WITI-TV in Milwaukee shuts down its analog sound carrier on 87.75
Getting a better signal out should further improve listenership.
p.s. We are really fortunate in Chicago that we were without a Jazz station for only a matter of hours, not so in some markets...
: Some Chicagoans quickly find their smooth jazz at "The L", after WNUA fades.
: Arbitron offers a rare day-by-day chart for below-the-usual-FM-band WLFM (87.7). It's the audio of a low power Channel 6 TV station, and it went from averaging about 1,000 AQH 6+ persons daily to over 10,000 - exactly five days after it converted to a smooth jazz format run by a former WNUA (95.5) executive. Its audio became a "radio station" with jazz on May 22, and Arbitron found it with over 10,000 AQH persons on May 27.
