LARadio.com reports today that KKJZ, the Long Beach jazz station at 88.1 FM, has dumped its entire five-person news staff. The station will instead air music-related "news notes" and pick up NPR when big events happen. "Two weeks ago, we received the results of a focus group and it was very clear that our listeners don�t tune in for news," said general manager Judy Jankowski.
