   I guess you don't hear much from Miles Davis on that station, eh?

   Does this also include the likes of Kenny G?

   Is the music that you hear sound "disposable"?

   What does the CRTC have to do with the lack of a jazz station in your   
   locality?   
      
   At the risk of preaching to the choir here, before you hear a station   
   broadcasting jazz, a potential radio station owner would have to   
   determine whether such a station is economically viable.  You'd think   
   (and I'm assuming), though, there'd be a big enough pool of listeners   
   in the SW Ontario region to draw from, to make such a radio station   
   profitable.  Vancouver had a station (CJAZ?) too but I guess it just   
   couldn't survive in that jungle, which was sad in a way.  Maybe this   
   is why there aren't any jazz stations in your region, or in many other   
   regions of the country.
