JACK FM

Is there any talk of any stations in Pittsburgh going to a Jack FM format as we approach the year 2006?
I say it doesnt happen as someone stated in a previous post a few months ago.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by toddjammin on 10/15/05 12:40 PM.</FONT></P>

There's been TONS of talk, especially in this forum. Read any forums like here, PBRTV, or any other similar forum, and you'll read lots and lots of talk about one station or another going Jack.

There will probably continue to be talk about. Discussing which station is going to switch to Jack will keep forums like this one hopping for years and years. But that doesn't mean that any station is going to make the switch.

If any station switches to Jack, I predict that it will be one that is owned mainly by a single individual, not a major corporation. If the primary owner dies, his heirs who inherit the station might very well do anything, and no one can predict what that might be.

But aside from some sort of wild card thing like that, I'm 65% positive that no local station will switch to Jack.
 
Knowing my hometown of Pittsburgh, it will be the last to pick up the Jack format, just as soon as other markets start dropping it.

Here in Knoxville TN, our Oldies station flipped to Jack early this month - followed by, no kidding, an "Earl" station within two weeks of Jack's launch. Similar concept. The other format victim was an AAA station.
