Radio Industry Hits Shuffle
Wired News: "From Seattle and San Diego to Baltimore and Buffalo, more than a dozen big-city radio stations have converted to a format known as Jack-FM over the past two months. On Friday, even legendary New York City oldies station WCBS-FM dumped '60s rock and joined the 'Jack' parade. "

so what if a radio station say, allowed listeners to request songs online?
That's the whole Jack mystique... "we play what we want" format is in-your-face, rebel who just wants a station they can own... the refreshing part is it appears they don't want to please anyone, and for some reason, that is captivating. It seems to appeal to the thirty and forty somethings who have been left wanting in the Mix format and who are too grown up for KISS and The Edge-type formats. Our generation just wants to hear good music and not all the other crap... lead on, I say.
