We feel Phoenix has a market for jazz and blues on the air, especially in the digital domain.  We also know that Phoenix has a history of jazz radio over many decades that is forgotten, ignored, and for certain unappreciated.  Part of our solution is audio on the jazz radio archive link starting in the 1970s up to what we are doing today.  More vintage radio shows are being added, including recordings from other cities with past/current jazz stations.

                                      JAZZ BROADCAST HISTORY
                JAZZ RADIO IN PHOENIX: WHAT IT USED TO BE LIKE

The following are archived jazz and offshoot radio shows, hosted by well-known and obscure personalities, past and present radio stations.  Mostly aired in Phoenix, but others to be added in the future come from road trips to other cities with jazz stations.   This audio covers several decades.  The commercials alone provide a glimpse of another era in Phoenix.  From a collection of "airchecks" by Tom Coulson.

Non-music media experience: We have a fill-in arrangement with Clear Channel Total Traffic, (the former Westwood One Metro Traffic) which is a content provider for produced and anchored radio and TV traffic reports internationally.  The Scottsdale Air Park studios serve several major southwest radio markets.  Below: Veteran Phoenix radio broadcaster Dennis McBroom provides training for a KDKB, Phoenix, on-air report. Other phoenix stations served are KFNN, KSLX and KTAR.   

We also have the following media and music experience: Recording services, especially analog-to-digital (vinyl/cassette to CD), operations/technical/musician management, musician pooling/co-op, remote broadcasts, programming/announcing, commercial traffic/production, sales/underwriting, booking, history/collection/archiving, and used disc/tape/CD exchange.  We are well-connected in Phoenix broadcasting, the Phoenix jazz/blues community, plus the Arkansas/Tennessee/Mississippi blues community.
