94.7 The WAVE - KTWV-FM Los Angeles

[@LABRIGS94]

I remember night drives with my mom sleeping in the car as a kid listening to smooth jazz on this station. With the white noise of the car moving and the warmth from the heater man I miss alot

[@parisbeech2180]

That's awesome 👏👍 i remember listen to this station so many heading home on a Saturday night best experience ever

[@boydmorales9444]

Back then the 80's were playing jazz music?? Not this were listening to now, this isn't jazz anymore.i think they need to bring back jazz for us listeners

[@Bluntz1289]

In the 90s my dad and I would listen to this on our way from his work and listen To The Wave. This is the reason why I love Smooth Jazz so much. My dad has cancer right now and I can't see a world without him Not yet.

[@amyrose6541]

I'm sorry to hear that...

[@parisbeech2180]

Damn I'm so sorry

[@gregheyheyhey]

I had the same with my dad and San Francisco's equivalent of The Wave, KKSF.

[@NinteSegaRarew]

I've been listening to KTWV-FM 94.7 The WAVE since I was in high school from 2008-2012, and I still do to this very day. I would love for the radio station to bring back all the smooth jazz they used to play.

[@Gen3ralGrimReaper]

I grew up to the 90s and early 2000s until 2010. After that, 94.7 The Wave just isn’t the same anymore. I have a Spotify account with over 300 songs, from Stevie Wonder, Dave Koz, Sade, Phil Collins, Seal, Brian Culbertson, Rick Braun, Gregg Karukas, Bonny James, Peter White, Paul Hardcastle, John Klemmer, Anita Baker, Stanley Jordan, Alicia Keys, Shaka Kahn, Kenny G,Eric Clapton, Isley Brothers, and even Joyce Cooling. I miss my childhood

May I suggest Mark Whitman, The Gypsy Kings, Keiko Matsui, Al Jarreau, Michael McDonald; Grover Washington, Jr; Lauren Wood, and Bonnie Raitt to name a few? ;) Also, you misspelled Chaka Khan. lol

[@TheManny717]

This list is incomplete because there are a few that you missed it; however, I thank you for making it possible for saving the _94.7 The Wave_ jingles... including a few that are bone-chilling. Also, RIP to Al Jarreau. :(

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@jimdayton8837]

I think we can all agree The Wave stations had the coolest station ID and commercial jingles. Does anyone know who wrote these? I've heard the jingles used on other stations, especially this one: 3:26

[@ScottNorwood-z1o]

Thank you for this. I needed this. Out of curiosity, do you happen to have an extended version of the very beginning jingle that launched when the station launched by any chance? I know a pretty short version of it is on this video, but the whole thing is incredible to hear. Thank you again for this upload.
