Down here in New Orleans we're blessed with a wonderful FM station: WWOZ. This station is volunteer based, not college affiliated, and plays a variety of roots, folk, blues, and jazz music.
The various shows are done by DJ's who love the music and often bring in obscure treasures from their personal collections. The mix includes both local New Orleans and national/international releases.
As a jazz fan, I usually listen to the evening jazz shows on my ride home. It's a rare week when I don't hear a new artist or CD that I just HAVE to have!
I've seen no other station like it in my travels from coast to coast.
BTW they now webcast - check out www.wwoz.com
