What is the Smooth Jazz Network?
The Smooth Jazz Network® is revolutionary when it comes to typical syndicated radio formats.
With veteran radio hosts and expert programming derived from feedback from thousands of listeners
annually, The Network will provide ‘sticky’ programming that your loyal listeners will return to again and
again. The Network is organic, flexible and custom fit for every market’s needs.
The network can be a 24 hour a day program including music, hosts and production or it can also be
taken in parts via daypart. For example, you can take the Brian Culbertson morning show, the Smooth
Ride Home with Dave Koz and keep the remainder of your day locally hosted. Weekend air shifts
featuring hosts like Kenny G and Paul Hardcastle are available as well.
How is the Network Delivered?
We have made the network flexible and convenient. You can take the network talent feed as posted on
our ftp site. Daily national talent breaks are also posted on the ftp. Further, each affiliate receives
several pages of scripts presented by the talent to completely localize the presentation. We also have a
turnkey version of the format available delivered via satellite.
Can I keep my local music mix?
Yes! Broadcast Architecture is also a research company and for those markets that conduct local
research to guide their music mix, we recommend taking the voice talent breaks and three to four songs
per hour that immediately air prior to the breaks. This keeps the talent in tune with the music, by
immediately back-selling songs… but also allows larger market stations to keep their well-researched
music library.

All Smooth Jazz Network® air talent produce daily shows that can be heard across the US. Brian
Culbertson (mornings), Miranda Wilson (Middays), Dave Koz (PM Drive), Maria Lopez (Evenings)
are all broadcasting via our network daily during the week. Our weekend programming hosts include;
Allen Kepler (Sat/Sun 6A-10A), Saxophonist Kenny G (Sat/Sun 10A-2P), Guitarist Norman Brown (Sat/Sun 2P-7P) and Keyboardist Paul Hardcastle (Sat/Sun 7P-Mid). Our late nights from Midnight - 6A are covered with Tim Garrison throughout the entire week.
What’s the cost?
All shows are available via two minutes of barter per hour within each program aired daily. For example,
if you take the Brian Culbertson Morning Show, we’ll provide two national barter minutes worth of
commercials per hour to air between 6AM and 10AM Monday through Friday. The same plan is
available for all dayparts on the network. All shows air locally during their scheduled times.
For unrated and smaller markets, there will be a cash charge in addition to the barter minutes
depending on the station’s AQH.
