Bob Parlocha was a jazz radio institution. He began spinning disks for KJAZ-FM over four decades ago. After the demise of KJAZ, Bob began syndicating Jazz with Bob Parlocha that filled the late night airwaves in many cities across the USA. Ironically, it was not carried on KCSM, the de-facto KJAZ replacement, until several years after its debut. |

KCSM is located at the College of San Mateo. Although it operates with about 11,000 watts transmission power, reception can be challenging, especially in the South Bay. However, those who can achieve clear reception are able to tune in a very-high quality digital signal, as KCSM broadcasts in HD Radio. Thankfully with streaming media, over-the-air reception is no longer a limiting factor to listening. The Internet has definitely changed the nature of broadcasting; in this case, for the better.
KCSM is one of the very small number of 24-hour a day jazz radio stations remaining in North America. KCSM is also the trusted owner of the KJAZ library, the third largest recorded jazz collection in the world. Only the Library of Congress and Rutgers University can claim a more complete documented collection of recorded jazz.
