Check Out Jack's New Website

Overall I am very impressed with the website. It's very nicely laid out with the hopepage menu as a blackJack table (get it?) I'm surprised to find a lot of local stuff on there as well. Lots of things to do on the website (games, crossword puzzles, jack's Journal) when you have nothing to do at work. Just make sure your boss doesn't catch you. Oh yeah check out the playlist; you won't find a repeater within a 24 hour period, and it's nicely organized. Sure beats those playlists on CC stations and websites.
 
Thanks for the heads up, NSAA!

I agree that the playlist feature is nice, and this is definitely better than the single page site that CBS has had up there for the last couple of months.

If you look closely, most of the really cool features on this site are actually links to other sites. There are also quite a few stub links off of the main menu.

I guess it's nice to see that CBS is actually getting around to promoting the station with more than a single billboard and a single-page web site.

I've heard KTSA air personalities grumble about the lack of promotion their station gets from CBS. Dave Ramsey reportedly paid for all of those billboards around town with his mug on them. KTSA's own site is so limited in features that most of their on-air people have built their own sites to augment their radio show.

I have a friend who worked in sales for a station in another market that was bought by CBS/Infinity and left a couple of years after the takeover because she hated the tight-fisted approach to sales that they brought in when they took over.

My bottom line is that this looks like a site that was designed on the cheap, and Jack's ownership knows cheap. They probably paid some local agency a few grand for an image package and rolled the site out unfinished when it ended up behind schedule and the budget ran out. I expected more, but I'm also not surprised there isn't more.

I guess we should be glad they've put most of their money into the on-air product.
