Who are we?theJazz is the new sister service to Classic FM, the UK's most popular commercial radio station with 6.3 million listeners. Our objective is simple - theJazz will do for jazz music what Classic FM has done for classical music, in making the genre accessible to a UK-wide audience. And like Classic FM, theJazz will be more than just a radio station. We'll be developing a whole jazz brand to include live concerts, CDs, books, podcasts, downloads, websites and TV programming. |

Why are we here?When the opportunity arose to launch a new station, we quickly arrived at a jazz format. We conducted extensive research which proved, without a doubt, that this is a much longed-for station, whether that be from jazz aficionados or the millions of people who love and listen to jazz-inspired music each day without labelling it. Jazz is the only genre which doesn't currently have its own dedicated station. This is where we come in. |

What's next?Darren Henley, the Managing Director of theJazz will be letting you into the world of theJazz in his regular Blog. Click here to find out how we choose the music we play, meet the team behind the station, get details on the second phase of the launch of theJazz and be first to hear all the news about our new presenters and programmes. Over the next few months we'll be engaging jazz fans and new listeners by asking the question 'What is jazz?'. The debate will take place on-air, online and at live events. We'll also be inviting our listeners to nominate their favourite jazz tracks. All news and developments will be posted here, so please do keep visiting to find out what's happening and how you can get involved.
