Harrisburg's 92.7 FM Stunting, Goodbye Smooth Jazz

Hall Communications’ 92.7 FM WSJW, Starview, PA (Harrisburg market) began stunting Friday airing covers of "Staiway To Heaven" and cartoon clips.  The station has dropped its Smooth Jazz format, which had been airing since 2004.

The following farewell message is posted on the station website:

If you are visiting Smooth Jazz 92.7 website, you are probably looking for information about what happened to the Smoth Jazz Music normally heard on 92.7.

Smooth Jazz has concluded it's run in the area and a decision to air a new music format has been made. You will be hearing it on this station very soon. To say that this was not an easy decision for management to make would be an understatement. We know that Smooth Jazz 92.7 had many listeners who tuned in frequently to enjoy the music and we appreciate all of them.

There were many factors that contributed to this decision to change format, not the least of which is that listenership for Smooth Jazz in the area never reached predicted levels.

Efforts were made through the years to support and make this format viable but in the end a format change was necessary. On  behalf of Hall Communications and all the Smooth Jazz personalities, we thank you for your support of Smooth Jazz 92.7.

TomZTake: This Class C station is nestled between three metros (Harrisburg, York and Lancaster) and doesn't really penetrate any very well.
