Thank you for bringing the station to my attention. I agree that the content is enjoyable...make that very enjoyable. The station's love for jazz and their dedication to share that love with their listeners really comes through. Dear readers, visit KCSM's website http://kcsm.org/jazz91/index.php to read their program schedule and note their Jazz Highlights announcements, you will see what I mean.
The reviewer described KCSM as being "one of the last all-jazz stations in the world". Perhaps he had in mind over-the-air all jazz radio as there is a plentitude of online jazz stations. If one pays a visit to http://www.shoutcast.com/radio/Jazz you will see that ShoutCast is providing access to more than 200 online jazz stations. KCSM is in the list and its caliber stands out, listen and you will see.
KCSM online radio offers two streaming bit rates: 32 kbps and 64 kbps. Hopefully their streaming speed will be increased.
KCSM's popularity as an online jazz station is evident. At 4 AM (PST) 212 persons were listening to the online station making it the 12th most listened to jazz station at Shoutcast.
