Get into the New Orleans groove

90.7 WWOZ FM is a live-streaming app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch that lets you listen to New Orleans’ very own jazz station.

A New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Station, 90.7 WWOZ FM really gets you into the groove for Mardi Gras, whether you plan to visit New Orleans this year or not. 90.7 WWOZ FM is the real deal, to be sure. Its corporate offices are located in the French Market Corporation Offices right in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s also listener-supported and volunteer-programmed.

Just sit back and listen. The tunes are mellow, as are the announcers. 90.7 WWOZ FM also comes with a built-in alarm clock, which is a nice little perk for a radio streaming app. 90.7 WWOZ FM allows you to play the radio stream in the background as you browse on your mobile device if you like. You can turn the station on and off with one easy click, but be aware that since this is a real radio station you won’t be able to start up where you left off like on other popular internet radio stations such as Pandora.

That’s really the only downside to the 90.7 WWOZ FM app. Since it’s a live stream, you get the good and the bad: great music but also radio host talk and commercials. It also doesn’t tell you the names of songs as they’re played, which might be a little frustrating for some die-hard jazz fans who want to purchase the song for future listening pleasure.

Get into the Mardi Gras spirit by listening to live-streaming 90.7 WWOZ FM!
