Hit the road, Jack

5pm Friday is the final hour for 107.3, Jack-FM.

It's through. Done. Over. Mistake acknowledged.

No, I don't know what the new format will be. Yes, I made sure Mr Buxser knows I'm posting this.

Radio geeks from outside the area may find a listen link to it on www.1073jackfm.com but if there's more than a few hundred listeners, the thing will probably buffer occasionally. Sorry. Oh, no one went to Spike and begged him to listen, so he may miss it.

Let the "I told you so"s begin. Over and out.

John DeVoicent: "spinning the format wheel". Go to a website and vote for the format.

...so it's still going to be satellite and not local then?

Kidding aside: thanks for the breaking news Dave!

They should try oldies.

I figured this was close to happening since the billboards have been disappearing over the past few weeks.

I'd like to see "ESPN 107.3 The Jock" - All Sports....lots of high school and college sports plus ESPN Radio....but that's just me.

However, I wish Dave didn't post this information. Now we're going to get bombarded with "they should move 98.7 to 107.3" posts. Agh!

Dave Allen · Post by **Dave Allen** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 6:55 pm

Here's my .02.

They make a big deal out of, "We listened to you...we were wrong to take your oldies away". You do nothing but good time oldies..not just Beatles, Motown, etc..but mix in some disco, classic hits, etc.

Looking for a good time? You found it on 107.3.

I'm just saying..

Two Jacks have received the ax today (WGCO in Savannah, GA being the other.)

In the case of the Savannah Jack FM, they went back to their former Oldies format. Will WKAZ-FM follow suit?

I'm listening live online and it's been commercials so far. Commercials during a stunt? Interesting. Okay, now it's country. Coming out of the legal ID they actually used the phrase "spinning the format wheel", which I thought only existed on All Access.

From 1073jackfm.com (some of these made me laugh):

Which format do you want to see on the NEW 107.3 FM?
ROCK 107.3, The Only Station That Really Rocks.
EASY 107.3, The Anti Lyric Station.
REDNECK 107.3, Gut Bustinâ€™ Country.
THE CHICKS 107.3, All Dixie Chicks All the Time.
BOOBTUBE 107.3, All Time Great TV Themes.

Oy vey! It's bad enough when V100 does that from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Not a single Hanukkah song. (Yes, there are some.)
