The weird thing about those Jack/Dave/Ben/Bob/Mordecai FM stations is that their tagline is inevitably “we play whatever we want,” but they play utter shite.
I always know I’m up north when the radio stations are tagged “The Bear/The Wolf/The Fox” FM.

Jack FM here in Seattle has a great playlist. Their last three songs as of 0139/3rd Nov 2018 were "Panama", "Smooth Criminal" (Michael Jackson), and "Into the Great Wide Open". That's my kind of playlist!
OK, those are three good songs.

Radio can come back if the Telecommunications Act of 1996 could be abolished. There was a time when one could own only one FM and one AM in a single market. Behemoths like Cumulus and iHeartRadio/Clear Channel were born out of this. They sacrificed local content and now, you can hear stations in the same format play the same songs in the same order.

For the company’s billionaire founder, John Catsimatidis, who has hosted a vanity radio show on a lesser New York talk station in his spare time, the purchase of WABC at a fire sale price translates to a mere 1/2500th of his net worth–equivalent to a middle class American worth $500,000 buying a $200 toy.
