Quote - Smooth Jazz radio here.

The college station where i learned to DJ was multi-formatted when i first worked there. They played rock in the morning until 6PM then about two hours of jazz, four more hours of rock and from Midnight to 6AM it used to play R&B/Soul. I was the midnight to 6AM jock during the summer and sometimes the morning jock would be late, so i had to do rock until somebody with WAYYY more rock knowledge than me came in. Then sometimes I'd be there in the late afternoon and the Jazz show jock wouldn't show up. Guess who had to play jazz? It's not that I don't like jazz, it's just that it's a mostly instrumental format, and the school where I went, NC State, the listeners didn't want to hear anyone singing, which I much prefer.
