San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- KSDS Jazz 88.3, a service of San Diego City College, has chosen to work with San Diego-based Epiphany PR to fulfill the public relations needs of the station. Epiphany PR will be responsible for developing media campaigns designed to increase exposure and support for the publicly-funded radio station.

“We’re very excited to be working with Jazz 88,” said Ron Marcus, Principal of Epiphany PR. “We approached them because their story needs to be told. Their dedication to the arts, education, and helping the community, as well as their cache of diverse jazz programming, have established Jazz 88 as a truly unique and necessary station in San Diego.”

As San Diego’s only full-time Jazz station, Jazz 88 concentrates its programming on blending new and upcoming artists with the great performers of the past who have given jazz its timeless appeal.
