Selection Logic

Latin Jazz checks reviewed U.S. jazz and independent-station schedules for dedicated Latin, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Mexican, Caribbean, salsa, mambo, and related music blocks. It stays with a live match until that show ends, hands off to another live match when available, and otherwise returns the listener to their last favorite station.
