The vision of JazzRadio World chief Julian Allitt is to provide a jazz radio station which "belongs to every listener in every country."

An experienced radio professional, Julian believes jazz has so far been neglected by broadcasters in many countries.

He has spent the past 12 years developing JazzRadio 101.9 in Berlin as Europe's most successful FM jazz station. The station has won no less than 19 worldmedals at the New York International Radio Awards, including three times Gold for "Best Jazz Format."

Prior to that, Julian - who is English - has led five radio stations in England and been a political journalist in London.
