We had a nice smooth jazz format on WJZL near Lansing, MI for about 5 years. Then they switched to Christmas music full time. Now they're doing "Classic Hits".

I guess the real indicator of a format change to come was that the station was sold and the call letters changed to WLMI.

They received a lot of negative comments about the impending change on their forum. Guess they didn't want to listen. Now I don't want to listen to them.

A call letter change, new owner would be a very good indication of a format change... sorry to hear, smooth jazz is pretty rare on the dial these days.

A longshot for SJ might be WSRW, which runs SJ on a HD-2 subchannel, likely commercial free.

Another longshot, WDZH HD-2:
