Easy Jazz FM

EASY JAZZ INTERNATIONAL: We have 5 radio stations, and the only one that still broadcasts worldwide is "Easy Jazz FM". To accomplish this, we set up a separate "international" channel at this web address: https://canada-radio1.page.radio

Listeners in the U.S. cannot access this channel, which can only be heard in the UK and 38 other countries (including Australia, New Zealand, etc.).

The new channel is fully licensed and streams at HD quality.

SO SORRY, BUT: We continue to hear from people all over the world expressing their devastation and disappointment that they can no longer hear some of our radio stations. Classical FM Radio and Classic Jazz FM, previously available in many countries, can now only be heard in Canada. We made this difficult decision because we simply cannot continue to pay the outrageous fees charged by copyright licensing agencies. Listeners do not understand that stations like ours must pay every single licensing agency in order to operate legally (and there are many agencies!). None of our stations have any commercials so our income is zero. Yet, we are expected to pay what would amount to thousands of dollars every month. It's truly absurd. Even if we did have some advertisers, the income derived from that would still not even equal the cost of the licensing fees. We are looking into how we can again expand our global reach without going broke. Likely, we will obtain licensing only for certain countries.

EMILY REMLER ON SNJ: Tonight on Saturday Night Jazz with John Armato (June 6, 2026 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT at easyjazz.fm), John looks back at New Jersey jazz guitarist Emily Remler. Emily was a rising jazz star in the late 1970s and throughout the 80s. In 1985, she won "Guitarist of the year" in Down Beat's international poll. Sadly, Emily was a heavy drug user, believed to have caused her death in 1990 at age 32.

APP UPDATE: We have updated our free multi-station app so that it has an improved interface and now includes an alarm clock. Two of the stations - Easy Jazz FM and West Coast Jazz Radio - can be heard throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. Our two other stations - Classic Jazz FM and Classical FM Radio - are now accessible only in Canada (due to the prohibitive cost of US/international copyright licensing). The app is called "Easy Jazz Network" and is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Apple TV. The new app was released today for Apple products. Android is coming shortly.
