102.2 Jazz FM received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Jazz FM Name?[edit]

Considering that Jazz FM still broadcasts via Sky Digital and DAB, I wonder if the title of the page should be changed from 102.2 Jazz FM to just simply Jazz FM and if the Jazz FM (defunct) subtitle be removed to just Jazz FM. Sonic 19:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Articles?[edit]

It's been brought to my attention by a fellow member of the Digital Spy website that after reading the article it should be split into two articles, one for the defunct 102.2 Jazz FM radio station (which no longer exists) and another article for the current jazzfm.com website and radio station (which is running). I'm in two minds over this. The article is not substantial enough to warrant a split according to the rule of thumb table on Wikipedia:Article size (the article at the time I write this is only 14.2kB) but the article contains two separate radio stations in effect. I personally welcome the idea but I would like to get the opinions of others before I embark on such a task. Sonic 19:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Proposal[edit]

My suggestion on the two articles would be:

102.2 Jazz FM

Introduction
Criticism and Rebranding
Playlist (for 102.2 Jazz FM)
Former Specialist Programmes on Jazz FM
Bring A Pound To Work Day
Former Presenters on Jazz FM
Jazz FM Records
Jazz FM Events

Jazzfm.com

Introduction
Brief synopsis on 102.2 Jazz FM roots
ejazz.fm (before the renaming to jazzfm.com)
Playlist (currently Current Playlist)
Current Presenters of Online Shows on jazzfm.com

Disagree. It's the same station, it just had a rename. Should have one article. No hang, on, I misunderstand. I think 102.2 Jazz FM and 102 Smooth FM should be merged. Certainly jazzfm.com should remain independent. Morwen - Talk 01:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem with that is that once the DAB stations close, the Jazz FM (website) article will fail the Wikipedia Notability tests for websites. I would suggest merging everything into 102.2 Smooth FM, especially as the original ejazz website was launched alongside the changes towards the launch of Smooth FM.

Jazz FM on Sky Digital - 100.4 or 102.2?[edit]

I can't find anything suggesting whether the service carried on Sky Digital was 102.2 Jazz FM or 100.4 Jazz FM. I know Sky Digital carries 100.4 Smooth FM, but I don't know whether it carried the London or the North West version of Jazz FM. --tgheretford (talk) 17:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC) (formerly Sonic)[reply]

Checked the forums on Digital Spy. A good number of forum members have confirmed that 102.2 Jazz FM was broadcast on Sky Digital. --tgheretford (talk) 18:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
