The greatest jazz radio station in the world, WBGO-FM, just redesigned its website. Go check it out. There’s a wealth of information on it, and you can even listen in from where ever you are in the world. It’s a non-commercial, listener-supported station (otherwise why would I be plugging it) and you can even become a member (like I am) by making a pledge online, and get lots of cool CDs and merchandise in return.
In the vast radio wasteland that has resulted from FCC deregulation, media mergers and the continual concentration of media ownership into the hands of fewer and fewer individuals and corporations, this station is a breath of fresh air, not only in providing the only 24 hour jazz station in the New York-Newark, NJ metropolitan area, but in its consistently award winning news and public affairs coverage of local issues.
It is the only station I listen to.

BGO is cool. every time i think of it, i think of working for the Jazz/NPR station in Buffalo when i was in undergrad. they still call me during pledge drives.
