SAN FRANCISCO'S KKSF-FM 103.7 DROPS SMOOTH JAZZ FORMAT

I'm getting really tired of reporting that yet another smooth jazz radio station has switched formats. San Francisco's KKSF-FM (103.7) flipped on Monday, May 18 at 3 PM when owner Clear Channel replaced the mellow tunes with a station called "103.7 The Band," which plays rock music from the 60's through the 80's from artists such as Elton John, the Doobie Brothers, the Eagles, Journey, Creedence Clearwater Revivial, Fleetwood Mac, The Band, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, etc. Clear Channel cited economic considerations and the results of "exhaustive market research", for abruptly switching the music format from 20 years of Smooth Jazz to Classic Rock & Roll. The first song played under the Classical Rock & Roll format was "Everybody's Everything" by Santana. It's unknown if www.kksf.com will continue to stream Smooth Jazz music over the internet.
