Dear Breeze FM:
Please let me congratulate you guys on the super smooth Jazz that I listen to, almost everyday, while I do my walk-jog up at Rangnam Rd Park (close to Vic Mon). My wife & I are here for 3+ months, & will leave end of August. She is from BKK, but our home is Clearwater, Fl. My station in Clearwater is 94.1 WSJT, but you come close to outdoing them. Your music sends tingles up my spine, & it’s so good to exercise with that great smooth jazz. Thanks for the great music.
Sincerely,
Peter
PS: is there a website that gives song titles & musicians that you broadcast, & at what time, because there are some I would like to maybe buy. Thanks!!

Walker is easy on the ears/airwaves. Breeze FM however can get monotenous. A little pick me up music would go a long way.
Thanks

In this city where good music is hard to find, what a joy to have Richie on the air. Aside from the music selection which is great, I cant tell you how good it is to have DJ worth listening to as much when he talks as when he’s playing tunes.
My only concern is the fact that a new radio station on a similar frequency is causing a lot of interference to my listening pleasure. That and an Emirates Airline ad which has been running for 6 months which grates on me.
Long may he stay here !!
