WCBS-FM Jacks On
From Associated Press: At 5 p.m. Friday, just as Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind" faded out, WCBS listeners heard a voice announce, "Why don't we play what we want? There's a whole world of songs out there." The first song played on the new 'CBS-FM: "Fight for Your Right" by the Beastie Boys.
From Infinity Broadcasting Corp.: What is Jack?
Jack in New York is a dramatic change from traditional radio formats. You told us that you are tired of stations that play the same 300 songs over...and over...and over.
101.1 Jack FM is playing what we want…the best songs from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, right up through today no matter where you first heard them. Just listen, it's like your iPod on shuffle.(*)
Join Jack as we blast away the traditional rules of radio with something different...
It’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s what New York has been looking for.
What Jack really is: "We did a lot of market research and found a hole in the market that wasn't being served by any other station," said Chad Brown, CBS' vice president and general manager.
(*)Whose iPod? Mine would include Fugazi, Charles Ives, Funkadelic, & Peggy Lee.
