GuestMy job requires me to be in a vehicle at least 5 to 6 hrs a day. I was disappointed when 98.1 switched to easy listening or what ever they play. No JAZZ, what? & no Jazz Festival in San Diego. This is sad times. What do Jazz fans gotta do to bring back our Jazz station.

Guestbring back smooth jazz!!May 18, 2012, 11:47 p.m. GMT
GuestI just learned that our hometown smooth jazz station has changed formats to the mainstream music heard everywhere else. I only get to come back there once a year. I was there for 5 hrs a montha go I thought I was on the wrong station . PLease go back we need it backMay 17, 2012, 1:11 p.m. GMT
GuestI drive down to SD several times a year from long beach to visit family and for weekend getaways and I look forward to being able to listen to 98.1 smooth "JAZZ". Boy was I disappointed this past weekend as I was driving down and got to south OC where I usually switch from the Wave to 98.1. In fact my car radio is programed to 98.1. I thought I had the wrong station. I had to go the whole weeke...May 16, 2012, 12:41 p.m. GMT
GuestI am so disappointed in the new music they play on 98.1. It is so bland. I will not be listening to the new 98.1. This was not a good business decision. I am so sad w/out my Peter White, and Dave Koz, etc... We have to get SMOOTH JAZZ BACK ON THE AIR.What the hell! Let's start a FACEBOOK REVOLUTION AND DEMAND THEY GIVE US BACK OUR SMOOTH JAZZMay 14, 2012, 5:20 p.m. GMT
GuestI just learned that our hometown smooth jazz station has changed formats to the mainstream music heard everywhere else. Too bad because I too became a smooth jazz listener over 25 years ago because of 98.1May 13, 2012, 1:07 a.m. GMT
GuestWhere oh where did our KIFM Smooth Jazz go? I'm just one more listener who be switching my preset button to another station. Why did management mess with a good thing?May 10, 2012, 9:27 p.m. GMT
GuestI too, am not only "sad" ...I'm really ticked off about the new format. The "old" KIFM is why I became a smooth jazz fan to begin with. I too was looking for the jazz fest @ Gaslamp quarters & have been unable to find.. HOW VERY SAD INDEED!! I agree... someone at the station, most likely the program director doesn't like smooth jazz. There are enough stations playing this same BORING format...May 4, 2012, 2:31 a.m. GMT
GuestSo sad, so sad. Now KIFM sounds like all the others. If it wasn't broken, why DID you change it? After so long we are switching to The Wave, KKSF or any of the other Smooth Jazz stations. We enjoyed our OWN hometown station for the past 30 years. Must be the Program Director doesn't like Smooth Jazz, otherwise why did they change it?April 29, 2012, 6:35 p.m. GMT

GuestNo smooth jazz festival this year at the Gaslamp, huh? Hmmmmm..... I wonder why?April 23, 2012, 12:12 a.m. GMT
GuestEnough of the "coffeehouse" sounding music KIFM!!! Bring back what KIFM has been known to loyal, long-time San Diego residents like me to play-SMOOTH JAZZ!!! We already have one KYXY!!! We don't need another!!!!April 22, 2012, 11:51 p.m. GMT
GuestLike most of the people on this site, I've been a loyal listener of SMOOTH JAZZ KIFM 98.1 since 1988. It saddens me that the now reincarnated SMOOTH FM 98.1 sounds a lot like KYXY 96.5. Does Lincoln Financial Group, the owner of KIFM ALSO OWN KYXY by any chance? If so, then they need to go back to KYXY and bring back my SMOOTH JAZZ KIFM 98.1!! Also, BRING BACK MY FAVORITE SMOOTH DJ, JAY WEIDENHEIM...April 22, 2012, 11:46 p.m. GMT

GuestWhat is San Diego without a smooth jazz station.? No jazz festival this year? 98.1 you lost a loyal listener. Fellow lovers of smooth jazz you can stream smooth jazz on SKY.fm. Now I need to find a smooth jazz radio station while I'm driving.April 13, 2012, 1:53 p.m. GMT
Guesti love this radio station,i m actually in Nuevo vallarta ,Mexico...muaApril 4, 2012, 8 p.m. GMT
GuestIs may best musicMarch 14, 2012, 2:43 a.m. GMT
GuestI just finished loading my CDs of Bob James, Earl Klugh, David Benoit, Keiko Matsui, Tom Grant, Andres Vollenweider and Dancing Fantasy since you swiched your format and I can't seem to find "lite Jazz" anywhere on my radio dial. I've been a loyal listener since 1979! Farewell KIFM. If I want "lite pop", I'll tune in to KYXY.March 13, 2012, 6:58 p.m. GMT
The new format simply SUCKS. It is extremely disappointing to listen to the lame music that is played. I had enjoyed this station since 1991 and to here the garbage that is played now is extremely bothersome. A sign of the times as things of quality have been replaced with cheap replacement.May 20, 2012, 7:09 a.m. GMT
