    Driving through Houston traffic after work can be VERY stressful, so I turn to 95.7 the wave for some mellow songs... But damn was I surprised to hear a Club hitting beats and was like WTF? lol Does anybody know whats going on?

    Yeah, I just noticed that this evening. I really liked that station. :(

    Back to KTSU for me I guess.

    Well, since they never actually played jazz, all I can say is good riddance.

    I wonder what kind of house 95.7 will play? Just remixes of current songs or ministry of sound type of stuff...

    I seem to remember the exact same thing happening to the previous jazz station we had (I forget the name of it, I think it was 98.5). They went from jazz to club music and the station didn't last very long.

    If you like jazz music, do yourself a favor and get satellite radio. Seriously. There are 3-4 choices of jazz music on Sirius.

    KTSU is great. Saturday nights is great with Jazz Latino with Juan Flores. I often stop to consider that I might be the only Irish-American listening to Jazz Latino on KTSU. :) But it's great music.

    95.7 didn't play great jazz music...but I'll give you they did play relaxing music. There were times I'd be driving home from a stressful day at work and flip it on there. In that sense, I'm sad to see them go.

    dance music formats never last long. it seems they're usually a transition point for something else.

    It was a sad day when Austin lost Mega 93.3/99.7. I think it is a pop station like 96.7 now.

    I always wanted a station in Houston to play some dance tracks. Hopefully this pans out.

    95.7 played Kenny G. garbage, and KTSU has always been so much better
