It's not a April Fools prank...
But it will be back to production music tomorrow...
Here is the tweet from @daveclark

@daveclark: @Jacobhbartels @wxdam We will do jazz days every once in awhile, just for you guys.  :)
Honestly I wouldnt mind if they made it full time, and mixed in production music as well, kind of like when they had vocal music, and during Christmas time.
Beggers can't be choosers, at least we have these special days!

For some reason, I knew they were gonna play smooth Jazz today. Now if they yank it tomorrow, that's one helluva April Fools joke. Btw, can someone post an LF clip with The Gift, Mildred's Attraction, and Holding Hands?

I'm grabbing them from both the satellite feed in my dorm room and my IS2 at home. If they don't stop testing this afternoon, I'll probably have those clips.

Awesome quality, minus the lag. I wonder how it sounds like on the IS2?

Yeah, the cable signal quality isn't great in my dorm. I'll get the IS2 clips uploaded tonight once I get home.

What is the reason behind their love of the production music? Would it cost extra money to play anything else?

I imagine they'd have to pay the record companies rights fees to air the music, hence why I think TWC's only airing music from the compilation albums they released ~8 years ago.

Likely, Over the past few years or so royalty fees for music have been on a major rise.
The radio station I intern for, has had to increase advertisng by a large amount, to pay for the royalty fees.
The fact that Dave is going out of his way to please us, makes me happy enough...
Do I wish it were on all the time? Yes!
However, I understand a business is a business, and anyway to cut cost is golden to them...
