A dying genre. Good luck to them, 

Read that article RA.  [At least seemingly] What a shit-show!  If accurate I wouldn't want any part of working for that.  No wonder they can't raise the funds they want/need.  Looks like it could all be heading right back out the door.  outlets which do their [ex] employees wrong sit very low down on my list.

As many who know me would know I am a long time Reggae guy..  I own one of the largest 'old hits' collections on the continent.  I mean I'm into it.  If this was, instead, a Reggae station, run by the same historical crew sitting in a similar 'pile', and they offered me really good bucks to host a show there I wouldn't even consider doing it.  As for donations?  Not a chance.

Seems like this membership drive will never end.   Heard the station between its commercial clusters this afternoon and they were begging for listeners to phone.  Brad Barker and a female guest delayed playing music until they received pledge calls.  That tactic didn't work.   Those calls never came so eventually they went to music.   I wonder how many other listeners stuck with the banter?   It certainly is a tune out factor.   I went back to Spotify.  Perhaps I'll tune in again next week.  or not.  And while on that topic, some of the "liners" that now appear on the station boast that it is the greatest jazz station.  Greatest where?  The "greatest" ----  Really?   Even commercial jazz stations like TSF Paris,  provide a diversity of jazz, though they have commercials, there's a lot more music being played, including great European jazz, that CJRT's program director probably never discovered.  

TSF also carries many live-to-air concerts.  Probably over a dozen a week.   Way more than CJRT.   I guess the "greatest" is in the eye of the beholder.    

If I was going to pay to listen to a certain genre of music, I think I would be more inclined to subscribe to Sirius and take advantage off all the channels for the same pricing.
