Another smooth jazz station bites the dust: Citadel has abandoned the format on Washington, D.C. station WJZW, flipping the channel to a ’60s/’70s hybrid that’s being called “True Oldies 105.9” and that focuses on rock and Motown hits from the two decades. One notable factoid about the now-departed Smooth Jazz format: “It drew an unusually mixed audience, with a nearly 50-50 split racially, which is almost unheard of in the highly segregated world of radio.” [Raw Fisher]
