Primary Jack FM logo Jack FM is the moniker and on-air brand of several radio stations in Canada and the United States.
The station brand briefly became Power 92 FM, which attracted adverse attention from the operators of CKDX, then a dance music station branded Power 88.5 in Newmarket, north of Toronto, and from Corus Entertainment, who had taken steps towards potentially turning their Toronto rock music station Q107 in a new direction as Power 107.
Thanks to former CRTC content regulations on FM radio, Power and then KISS 92 FM was the first contemporary hit radio or top 40 format on FM licensed to the city of Toronto in history.

Jack Radio reminds me of a story to dirty to even think about...I understand that even the "voice" was outsourced to some developing country.......R Pz Posted by: R
Jack FM is really weird (due to its random mix), I'm not sure I like it or hate it with all my guts.
I have nothing against the fact that Jack F.M. plays a random variety of songs from different decades and that some of their songs even overlap with the songs that are played on an oldies station.

 pocketnow.com - Reviews - Short Take: Kensington Digital FM Radio and FM Transmitter for iPod
The problem with FM transmitters are two-fold: first, they usually sound pretty craptacular and second, hunting for a "clear" FM radio station to transmit on is annoying.
To listen to the radio you have to use the headphone jack on the Kensington and not the one on the iPod.
There are basically two different kinds of FM transmitters available for the iPod: the first type includes a way to plug into a cigarette lighter socket while the second type draws power directly from the iPod.

 Local Commercial Radio Licence Award: Oxford and South Oxfordshire | Ofcom
The FM local commercial radio licence for the city of Oxford and parts of South Oxfordshire was awarded on 12 October 2006 to Absolute Radio International Limited (Jack FM).
In particular, it was considered that Jack FM’s 'Pop Rock' and 'Classic Rock'-based (but nevertheless eclectic) music policy would be likely to give exposure to a variety of genres or styles that applicant monitoring demonstrated are generally under-represented in the music output of existing Oxford commerical stations.
It was also noted that Jack FM’s commitment to restrict airplay to avoid current pop and dance music would ensure that the output remains distinctive from the two existing commercial services available in the area.

 Rolling Stone : Radio Airwaves Go Jack
Jack has spread to eleven major North American stations in a little more than a year, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago - with as many as three dozen expected to launch by the end of this year.
In many cities, Jack has replaced oldies stations, exchanging listeners in their fifties and sixties with younger listeners who are likely to buy advertisers' products for years to come.
But Jack programmers say the experiment is paying off, with an average of one station a week changing over and generally strong ratings in the crucial twenty-five-to-fifty-four-year-old range.

 SimpleBits ~ Shuffle FM
JACK FM’s slogan is “playing what we want” and they pound on the idea of not taking requests.
Like someone said before, Jack FM 104.1 in Minneapolis, and their slogan is “A bunch of songs in a row.” Now their commercials go on forever when they play them, and ‘Jack’ does talk between each song (although it is just a recorded message, where they have no DJ) but I personally love the sation.
They started JACK FM in Baltimore, MD… I refuse to listen to it, since they took away one of the most popular Morning Shows in Maryland (one that actually had live traffic information via helicopters(!) as well as good humor) simply because it was an oldies station.

 Hear 2.0: JACK FM Format approaches the "Tipping Point"
Now that both Dallas and LA have "JACK FM" stations (that's the incredibly diverse format that "plays what we want") it should be clear to the casual industry observer that the format is rapidly approaching the "tipping point."
The JACK format is actually a danger to the communities it "serves," and I'd like to see the FCC pull the license of all "automated" stations.

It was such a rarity in my city, the statipn that jack fm replaced, that it gave me one less station i could leave on and generally like the music and not find the banter too annoying.
jack played bowling for soups “1985” this morning and i couldn’t help but again recall all the brouhaha o’er the orwellian year 1984 in song, dance and film that proved to be so off the mark (till bushitler got elected, natch).
Jack is different because for decades, the rule in radio has been that you have a tight format, you have a relatively small playlist, you don’t derivate from that playlist, and the DJs have little discretion about what gets played (maybe they could choose 1 song per hour if they’re lucky).

 WFMU's Beware of the Blog: Spanish Version of Jack-FM: Hola "Jose!"
Complain about it all you want (see comments on this post and this one), but Jack FM has been so succesful that it's now expanding to the Spanish language radio market, rechristening the philosophy of "Play What We Want" as "Toca Lo Que Quiere." Maybe my erstwhile announcer Julio can now get a job.
WCBS-FM (101.1 FM), which flipped from oldies to the multi-era hits format called Jack in early June, saw its ratings drop 50 percent with listeners 12 and older in the Arbitron summer ratings book, which was released yesterday.
They take more (and more interesting) requests than most Jack stations, but a huffy dj drew the line at the Dead Kennedys while I was listening last week, saying they'd "spoil the fun" (and then he played some shitty 70s power ballad).

 Aerosmith meets Marx Bros. on 'we play anything' radio | www.azstarnet.com ®
CHICAGO - The posters hanging on the walls of the broadcasting booth at Nine FM are as eclectic as the music the radio station plays - Pink Floyd and Aerosmith sharing space with the Marx Brothers, the Rat Pack and the Beatles.
With names like Jack and Bob (or Fickle and Nine), radio stations promising an anything-goes mix of pop and rock hits are springing up across the country.
The variety format is seen, in part, as a way to appeal to listeners used to loading their own iPods with music from different genres - or to keep those thinking about switching to satellite.
