Don Wolff's long-running Saturday night radio program "I Love Jazz," recently cancelled by KMOX (AM-1120), soon will become a television show on local cable channel HEC-TV.
With the program still in development, details are a bit sketchy at this point. HEC operations manager Amber Dinwiddie says they hope to debut the video version of "I Love Jazz" later this fall, with the program length and frequency of production of new episodes yet to be determined. The show's exact time slot also is up in the air at this point, but Diniwddie says it will run in prime time, i.e. between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The news release sent out by HEC promises "an innovative, exciting new format filmed live in St. Louis’ outstanding Jazz clubs," and the station also plans to send a crew to KMOX to tape Wolff's last two radio broadcasts, set for this Saturday and September 29.
In addition to airing on cable, "I Love Jazz" will stream live on the Internet from HEC-TV's Web site, and they also plan to make episodes available on DVD for classroom use.
StLJN will have more details on this story as they become available.
