The 100-watter on 90.1 won't sign on as WVWA after all (sob!), but will use the WJJZ calls recently abandoned in Philadelphia; and, yes, it will be a jazz station when it signs on next year.

The new station will be a jazz and community-radio outlet serving northern Westchester and the Danbury area once Dennis gets it on the air.
