I'm listening to WBGO online. Best jazz radio there is.
That is my go to station in the car. I find they have been missing the mark a bit lately though. Playing too much straight blues during the midday. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE blues, but there is more jazz and jazz styles than I could possibly know. Blues gets too close to rock too quickly for them to give it that much air time on a jazz station IMO.

Case in point, I'm currently listening to Rory Gallagher, Tattoo.

All my radios (house & car) are tuned to WBGO.
I've been a fan of theirs for over 30 years.

Real Jazz on Sirius isn’t bad either, and La Luna ( Latin Jazz) is one of my favorites. I agree with your take on BGO though, but we don’t seem to have the options we used to for domestic jazz programming. Of course I’m an old guy.

I grew up on Long Island so I used to listen to BGO and KCR all the time on the radio. Now that I‘m in Arizona it’s JZZ out of Phoenix, or internet radio(thank God).
