Clancy urges recipients to jot song requests and any other feedback in a space on the back of the reply device. Also included in each package is a 3.5-inch-by-8-inch glossy, multiple-choice jazz quiz. It includes the answers and gives recipients titles based on how they do — Jazz Genius and Jazz Jammer, for example. For those who get three or fewer correct, the verdict is, “Time to tune into KCSM-FM.”
