Nightly

  • Ordered by number of hours of jazz programming between 6a and midnight per week. Using jazz programming as overnight filler, especially when it’s all syndicated, when almost none of us are awake doesn’t impress us.
    (Looking at you, WMUK. Your owner is an internationally-renowned jazz school.)

  • While WHRV-HD Norfolk VA ranks lower on the list, its evening-late night program deserves special mention due to the high-quality blend of 80% new music and 20% old music with a focus on fusion unmatched by any other jazz radio program, hosted by a long-time nationally-known jazz drummer and educator.

If you are in a facility where possession of your smartphone is prohibited and/or mobile / wireless Internet access is unavailable and you’re behind a firewall managed by a Machiavellian firewall administrator, you have your work cut out for you. The good news is at least a few of these streams ought to have differing URL schemes or codecs that won’t be nabbed by your corporate firewall.

If you are that firewall administrator, you need to stop being indifferent to and have some respect for the people who work in your office.
