History

Standish Citizens Educational Organization became an organization in May 2002 and applied for a construction permit for a new LPFM station. The station was granted the WJZF-LP on 2003-12-29,[3] and the station went on the air January 20, 2005, primarily focusing on smooth jazz, however having specialty shows including oldies, blues and old time radio. WJZF is now broadcasting a variety of programs that are not heard on other radio stations. WJZF has become one of those rare radio stations that truly offer alternative broadcasting to the public. Their Country "Country Barn" show, is one of the most interesting programs found anywhere on radio, playing old and new country, nowhere else on the dial. WJZF also broadcasts worldwide on www.wjzf.org and on www.tunein.com which draws listeners from all corners of the globe.

WJZF was the former call sign of a smooth jazz radio station in the Atlanta, Georgia area now known as WALR-FM. This station identified as "Jazz Flavors 104.1." The current WJZF-LP also bills its smooth jazz programming as "Smooth Jazz Flavors."
