THE JAZZ CHILL CORNER: WLOQ 103.1FM ORLANDO DROPS SMOOTH JAZZ FORMAT

THE JAZZ CHILL CORNER: WLOQ 103.1FM ORLANDO DROPS SMOOTH JAZZ FORMAT: 103.1 FM / WLOQ in Orlando has recently been sold and is in the process of switching formats from Smooth Jazz to an unknown format. At midnight on August 1, WLOQ's smooth jazz format moved exclusively online, and the station began stunting as "Elvis 103.1" until the new format is unveiled. The station initially signed on the air in 1966 as WLOQ-FM and at the time the format was all instrumental “beautiful” music through 1977. The station programmed what became the Smooth Jazz format from 1977 to 2011. In 2011, after CEO John Gross retired for medical reasons, WLOQ was sold to TTB Media Corporation. Here is a message posted online from the CEO of the station:
