 24 hour jazz radio station and number #1 low-power FM (LPFM) community radio station in Ohio, serving over 1.1 million residents in Central Ohio. This website is the official website for Jazz 98.5 FM. In November 2013, SEMM Foundation applied to the FCC for an LPFM license
to create SEMM Foundation was granted a Construction Permit to build the station on October 10, 2014. On, January 12, 2017, the FCC granted SEMM Foundation a license to broadcast as Jazz 98.5 FM, WSAX-LP. Jazz 98.5 FM, WSAX-LP, is
a listener supported, non-commercial radio station, owned by SEMM Foundation, a non-profit organization. We serve and support the educational and music needs of the
Columbus area and communities in which our signal is received. We rely on donations and underwriting announcements from our listeners and community to meet our
operational costs.
We offer a variety of great jazz music programming 24 hours each day,
including the music of our own Homegrown local musicians that you will not find
anywhere else with the same regularity. Our younger listeners have
discovered that jazz music is not just the music of their mothers, fathers and grandparents. We invite you to discover the music and discover the new Jazz 98.5 FM, WSAX-LP.
Our thanks to you for supporting us, telling others about us, and more importantly, for allowing us to come into your home, office, your vehicle and life.
