KJazz 88.1 HD2 🇺🇸

KJazz 88.1 HD2, a digital subchannel broadcasting from California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), delivers a distinct contemporary jazz experience as a sister station to KJazz 88.1 FM. As an HD Radio subchannel, KJazz 88.1 HD2 requires an HD Radio receiver or online streaming for access. Unlike KJazz 88.1 FM, it specializes in contemporary jazz, encompassing smooth jazz—a mellow blend of pop, R&B, and funk—contemporary instrumental music, nu-jazz incorporating electronic elements, and fusion that mixes jazz with rock, funk, and world music. KJazz 88.1 HD2 operates as a listener-supported, non-commercial station, relying on donations and sponsorships to maintain uninterrupted music programming. It extends its reach beyond its broadcast area through online streaming via the KJazz website and radio streaming apps. The programming includes curated music playlists spotlighting contemporary jazz artists, specialty shows dedicated to specific subgenres, and occasional broadcasts of live jazz performances. Committed to community support, KJazz 88.1 HD2 promotes local jazz artists, features local events, and partners with jazz organizations. Aligned with CSULB's educational mission, the station provides students with practical experience in broadcasting, music programming, and radio production.
