Bobby Broom, NIU associate professor of Jazz Studies and Jazz Guitar’s radio show, Jazz Spectrum has aired on Northern Public Radio’s WNIJ (90.5 FM) since 2024, and has now expanded to WDCB (90.9 FM in Glen Ellyn, and 90.7 FM in Chicago’s West Loop.
The two hour show airs weekly on WNIJ on Fridays from 7-9 p.m. and on WDCB on Mondays from 8-10 p.m.
Jazz Spectrum features jazz music curated by Broom. “This is a most exciting venture for me,” he says. “I’ve been told for years that I have a radio voice. I think that hearing that, planted a seed as something that I wanted to do that has finally bloomed.”
