'''Smooth Jazz''' was a 24-hour music network produced by [[Jones Radio Networks]]. It's playlist was comprised of mostly contemporary [[smooth jazz]] music from artists such as [[Boney James]], [[Joe Sample]], [[Kenny G.]], [[The Rippingtons]], [[David Benoit]] and a dozen more artists. Although its name was "Smooth Jazz;" its format may be better described as a [[Middle of the road (music)|middle of the road]] format, as it mixes some [[adult contemporary music]] into the playlist.


Jones' "Smooth Jazz" format is discontinued as of [[September 30]], [[2008]], as part of the integration into the [[Dial Global]] brand. Unlike other networks to be eliminated, there is currently no other smooth jazz network with which this network is consolidating. It is the last major smooth jazz satellite network in the United States, with the only other network being a much smaller standalone network provided by [[Broadcast Architecture]].

Smooth Jazz was a 24-hour music network produced by Jones Radio Networks. It's playlist was comprised of mostly contemporary smooth jazz music from artists such as Boney James, Joe Sample, Kenny G., The Rippingtons, David Benoit and a dozen more artists. Although its name was "Smooth Jazz;" its format may be better described as a middle of the road format, as it mixes some adult contemporary music into the playlist.

Jones' "Smooth Jazz" format is discontinued as of September 30, 2008, as part of the integration into the Dial Global brand. Unlike other networks to be eliminated, there is currently no other smooth jazz network with which this network is consolidating. It is the last major smooth jazz satellite network in the United States, with the only other network being a much smaller standalone network provided by Broadcast Architecture.

The network now only has a handful of affiliate stations remaining, with some stations formerly affiliated with Jones Smooth Jazz having changed format or gone to the rival syndicated Smooth Jazz format distributed by Broadcast Architecture. Among the Jones Smooth Jazz affiliates remaining, as of August 2008, were WJZL in Lansing, Michigan; KMGK in Glenwood, Minnesota; WAUN-FM in Kewaunee/Green Bay, Wisconsin; and WKYL in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Along with WJZL, WAUN-FM and WKYL, five other stations were also switched over to the Smooth Jazz Network:
