The Weather Channel Radio Network reaches 2 million listeners weekly in over 150 U.S. markets, including 42 of the top 50 DMAs, and also is the weather provider for the nation's satellite radio services.

Marketing support for the project will include a "Local on the 8s" crawl, tagged with "Smooth Jazz II now available at..." message in key markets, and radio promotion in key markets. Music from the collection will be played one week prior to and during launch week as well as promotion during "Local on the 8s" feature of the Weather Channel.
