Back at elementary school, our teachers used to put this station on the radio for quiet time sessions. CD 101.9 really raised me! I miss that station so much.
since cd 101.9 left the air i went with it. there is nothing worth listening to on the radio. first 98.7 kiss fm with the smooth r&b and classic soul left and then cd 101.9 !!!! the weekends listening to these two stations ESPESCIALLY cd101.9 gave you a reason to stay home relaxing with a loved one.
They took CD 101.9 off the air cuz the station owners (Emmis Communications) felt that smooth jazz had no fan base and was low in ratings,so that changed the format on Febuary 5,2008 at 4pm.I remember when that happend,cuz I just got off work and was in my car.And then after that,they played rock songs,and said that the station will be known as"the new rock experience".Emmis also owns Hot 97 and Kiss FM.But I heard they still play jazz on Sun nights on WBLS 107.5.
We all were! I still listen to it on my Sony Walkman MP3 through a Rhapsody for smooth Jazz.But they do play smooth Jazz on 107.5 WBLS on Sunday evenings.And for some reason,there's word going around that they wanna eith change WBLS to smooth jazz on the regular or bring back a station for it.
There was a song on here that I heard as a kid but never got the name of. I heard it several times before CD 101.9 went off the air but that was before I was allowed to search stuff on the computer. Now, I'm stuck.
My mom used to listen to CD101.9 all the time and it was a mainstay in our house and in her car stereo as she used to pick me up and drop me off. I still remember all those old instrumentals of easy jazzy listening songs where there was only maybe a saxophone and backing track with some singers singing one or two words over and over again like: *music*, TOO HOT *music*, TOO HOT and *music*, LOVELY DAY *music*, LOVELY DAY Honestly, it was weird. And I remember my mom blasting that music in the car taking me to school and my incoming classmates would hear it. They would ask me if I listened to rock or hip-hop or something else and I said no "I'll be cooooool with CD101.9" Then they proceeded to beat me up. So in all honesty, I hate "Smooth Jazz" with a fiery passion. It's like REAL JAZZ and adult contemporary had a baby with a chromosome missing. Why not listen to Jazz Greats like the Marsalis Brothers or Tito Puente or Miles Davis or Nina Simone or Dizzy Gillespie? CD101.9 WAS NOT A JAZZ STATION! The REAL Jazz was on the AM Dial with other REAL music such as Classical. Every other song on that station was freaking Kenny G. I bet for every time you had to hear his sax there was a black musician that never got the time of day. BULLCOCKY!
I grew up listening to CD 101.9 too and as much as I loved it, the sad truth was that it was time to go. The format was getting very stale and repetitive and by the time things came to a close, it was nothing more than an easy listening station that played the occasional jazz tune. Having said that, the rock format they switched to is nothing special at all. Very generic. It won't survive longer than a year, if that.
i miss cd 101.9 this fucking southers rap music and other bull shit r and b music took over. even though there are millions of jazz fans this radio station couldn't do it. i feel bad. i miss patt prescott etc.,
It was the best station to have on when your stuck in traffic.. just mellows you out..

ONCE AGAIN: I MISS CD 101.9.
There’s nothing like NYC radio stations
you will be forever missed CD101.9 THAT WAS A EXCELLENT STATION
I think the reason they did that was because,92.3 K Rock(The old KTU from the 70s) changed it's format to dance music,so there was no more rock music.
i fucking miss new york now... thanks for the upload, brings back so many memories listening to this station

Ok,nobody is talking about R&B here,we're talking about smooth Jazz here.Who cares about Kiss-FM. They lost their touch long time ago.
