Jeff,
Thanks for that, I was wondering what the deuce Eric was on about.
<g> So I did the google thing, and came up with this about Jack.
Jack is really nothing more than a format (playlist) for a radio
station. The differentiation is that Jack calls for a playlist
of up to 1000 tunes (compared to the 'measly' 100 to 300 tunes
of most stations), and the genres can be mixed as all hell. It
purports to be edgy, and therefore more attractive to multiple
audiences. The only requirements (that I've found so far) are
that any song must be no more than 30 years old, and it must have
been a Top 40 hit at least somewhere in the country.
CBS was not the originator, according to <>.
In fact, the very first station to go to this format was CKLG-FM
in Vancouver, BC. There are also some upcoming competing formats
called Bob, Ed, Bill, etc.
But why am I repeating what you all can find for yourselves.
Google for the terms "jack fm" and radio, and read with glee. <lol>
Also, there's an interesting article on this format found at:
