Lambert continues overseeing the jazz programming to provide the latest music releases to dedicated jazz listeners. He oversees the tracking numbers supplied to the national jazz chart of new releases maintained by JazzWeek and the music promoters continue supplying new music to KNTU since the station has NOT abandoned the format, but simply moved it to a new delivery platform.
