Yup! A CC first! Power 98.7 is now 987JackFM. And check out their website, http://www.power987.com . They slapped the new banner on the old one last minute so that it looks like someone hacked the old page!
Is Z102 next?

wasn't like it was a huge secret. they've been talking about it for months now.
i hope not. Z102 is Lubbock's only top 40 station. 104.9 and 97.3 are a mess. So I would hate to see Z102 go. I would prefer one of the stations, like FMX to go. No offense to FMX fans, but I have never been a fan of FMX, so if Lubbock gets jacked, let it be FMX. If only we could just add a station since there are some open frequencies. Wouldn't hurt to put a station on 107.7...but that will never happen.
or how about the Christian station 92.7 KJAK (that not many people listen to)??? at least they wouldn't have to change the call letters!

I thought about that a while back.....
All good points, here's the deal...
First of all, saying "why not FMX" is like saying "why not Z102?" Just like Z102 is the only Top 40, FMX is the only Active Rocker. And either one of them are expendable, since if either goes, it will leave a gap for someone to fill. I can almost garuntee that if Z102 goes, either 97.3, 104.9 or 100.3 will adjust to pick up the format, and I bet it would be a race to get there first (smart money would be on 100.3, which is a Mix96-1 clone). Similarly, if FMX went (which it will not becuase it has a loyal following and is second to KLLL in years as a heritage FM), Rock 101.1 would almost certainly default as the Active Rocker YESTERDAY. So anything can happen. I don't see them flipping Z102, and since Jack would compete againt number 2 station Kool 98, I don't see Clear channel Lubbock picking up the format.
Second, KJAK is owned and run by a devout group of religoius broadcasters who believe in religion and community. It too has a loyal following and provides all of the broadcasts for the local highshool sports in the Lubbock area, with strong ties to KRBL, LVT and KJDL. Since the station calls itself "KJAK," it is unlikely that we could have a JACK labeled Variety Hits station in the Lubbock DMA without some coaxing from Sparknet or perhaps a donation (since I believe KJAK is a non-profit).
All that said, I DO think that Lubbock is the next market to get a Bob/Mike/etc Variety Hits station. It just won't be on a Clear-channel station, and it won't be named JACK. So that narrows it down, and you can fill in the blank of who the likely candidates would be.
Than again, I've been wrong before about knowing JACK...

Disregard my other post.
98.7 JACK-FM in Amarillo is running the ABC/JACK programming and we welcome them to the family!
Their new website is 987jackfm.com (same thing as the old POWER 987 site at the moment).

Looks like 103.9 in Bryan-College Station and 99.3 in Tyler got "jacked" too. if we get a jack, bob, mike, dave, etc. format, maybe they will flip one of the Spanish stations.
although I think East Texas flipped 99.3 before Amarillo. I'm not sure when because I haven't checked back here in a long time. I think College Station flipped pretty recently though.
