History[edit]
On November 5, 1995, KJZY first signed on the air.[1] It was begun by Gordon Zlot, and remains under the ownership of his company, Redwood Empire Stereocasters. The station played smooth jazz, featuring contemporary artists like Dave Koz, Wayman Tisdale, David Benoit, Mindi Abair and Lee Ritenour, classic artists like Ramsey Lewis and Wes Montgomery and vocalists such as Anita Baker, Sting, Sade and Basia. Music Director Rob Singleton said modern smooth jazz "is the evolution of fusion—milder fusion, the original fusion was pretty electric."[2]
On September 11, 2017, KJZY changed its format from smooth jazz to soft adult contemporary, branded as "Smooth FM 93.7."[3] The Smooth Jazz format moved to KJZY's HD2 subchannel and translator station K256DA at 99.1 FM in Santa Rosa, known as "Smooth Jazz 99.1." The move gives a larger coverage area for the soft AC format, while maintaining the smooth jazz format in Santa Rosa and its adjacent communities. The same personalities are heard on both stations, by voice-tracking Smooth Jazz 99.1.
