Chicken and the Egg (or Jack)

Chunky Monkeys?

Ben & Kerry are the morning show on Jack-FM in Toronto, which is on 92.5. Ben McVie and Kerry Gray were the morning team at Dave FM in Cambridge/Kitchener, and Kerry Gray was the PD of 103.3 The Edge recently.

Is it possible that WBUF would simulcast them? I don't believe that they're syndicated. It sure would tickle Kerry Gray - who's wife Loraine O'Donnell is the second (third?) banana on WKBW's AM Buffalo - to be on during morning drive in the Buffalo market.

Ben and Kerry spend more time with topics that have nothing to do with Toronto anyway, so it might be possible...
(lots of "North American" things to discuss...)

Recently one of them loved to brag about being hooked on infomercials, and how the Magic bullet is great, but not for what they claim in the MB ad...

In the meantime, here's the Jack Toronto ad: www.925jackfm.com/images/jackFMEGG.wmv

So much for "no djs" on Toronto's Jack.
I'm pleased to see that idea fail.
 
Here we go, This is where Jack 92.9 and Jack 92.5 get's really confusing. WUTV Fox 29 is located in Buffalo. Fox 29 runs adds for Jack 92.5 in Toronto. Now, if I'm in Buffalo watching Fox 29, I could assume that the add was for Jack 92.9 in Buffalo. My eyes may infact skip over that .5 and assume they are talking about Jack 92.9. Sometimes, people love to make life ultra confussing.
 
Point...set... match

After watching the ad again, i misspoke on the actual station. None the less, the syndication idea is not a bad one and always fits w/the Do Everything with Nothing (do more w/less for everyone else) model that the former CBS /Infinity management lived by.

A thousand apologies...

It's the reason Jack is the "Burger King" of terrestrial radio. Everytime i walk into a Burger King and see the marketing all over the place, it reminds me of the whole "Jack" mantra...

OMG! Thanks!
I have Rogers cable here on the Canadain side of the fence.
I honestly thought Rogers (owners of rogers cable and Jack Toronto) were blocking out the american Jack ad or something...
(some kind of sim sub or what ever...)

What's 400kHz among friends, eh? Truth is, you're a radio pro and you misread the situation. Imagine how the average guy in Cheektowaga misreads the situation every day. Call letters get mangled, less than 10% of your listeners know your name, stations are called "channels" and the listener discerns little, if any, difference between brand A, B or C.

"We're all bozos on the back of this bus."
