Longtime St. Louis radio personality and jazz advocate Don Wolff is bringing his I Love Jazz program back to broadcast radio on KFUO (FM 99.1) beginning Friday, May 9.
The new radio incarnation of I Love Jazz will air from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday evenings, and will feature a mix of music, interviews with touring and local musicians, and news of local jazz events. “‘I Love Jazz’ is a beloved St. Louis institution, and we’re delighted to share it with CLASSIC99 listeners,” said Dennis Stortz, director of broadcast operations, in a news release. “The rich history of the jazz genre, along with Don Wolff’s passion for music and the arts, makes the show a perfect fit for CLASSIC99."
Although KFUO's FM signal won't reach as far as the clear-channel AM signal that previously carried I Love Jazz to listeners all over the Midwest, the program also will be available via the station's online stream at classic99.com. The news release said Wolff also plans to continue both the television version of I Love Jazz on local cable channel HEC-TV, and the Internet radio version of the program on Live365.
It'll be good to have Don Wolff back on the local airwaves again. Congratulations to him, and kudos to Dennis Stortz and KFUO for having the wisdom and good taste to make Wolff's return a reality.

This policy of "Second Best for Jesus" strikes me as an odd allocation of resources for the LCMS. If the FM cannot be a major part of Christian Evangelism then the Church should sell the FM side.
