I just heard Charlie Daniels Band, "devil went down to georgia", seems like a country song to me, but it did fit in pretty well.
I'm going to go hibernate in my bear den.

I've heard it also a couple of times on MAX. Bonneville plays the 'G' rated version. It sounds better when Charlie Daniels calls the devil, "You son of a bitch". They play the version where he calls the devil, "You son of a gun"
But yet, Bonneville's 96.5 KOIT plays the Eagles 'Life in the Fastlane'. In that song the verse, "... I haven't seen a goddamn thing..."
There was an article in the Chronicle last week. They mentioned how the first programmer to came up with the JACK format. Apparently, he was with his daughter in a pizza parlor. They were played Huey Lewis and The News then went to a country song, to a harder rock song. He noticed his daughter tapping to the music.
He asked her if she liked these songs. She said that if the music has a beat it doesn't matter what they play.
That was when he realized that he should open up the playlists instead of just playing specialized, micro-managed music.

Yeah... it's the guy that owns Newsweb ...they do a format called NineFM in Chicagoland. It's bizarre... you'll hear album cuts from CSNY, Beatles classics, the Doors and such...but you'll also hear Big and Rich and 3 Doors Down. I think they recently fired the PD Sky Daniels and morning guy AW Pantoja. I also don't think that is the origin of the Jack format. It started in Canada.
The best Jack station I've heard so far is in Dallas. It's the imaging that makes it sound so good there. Waaaay too edgy for Bonneville. Jack in Dallas plays with imaging like "Jack on, Jack off, Jack on, Jack off... it's fun but very adult. I love the voice guy there. Don't know who it is, but he's perfect.

Re: The story...
For Harvey Wells, vice president and group station manager for Newsweb Radio Group, Nine FM's owner, inspiration struck sitting at a college bar with his 21-year-old daughter. After hearing hard-rock AC/DC followed by pop from Huey Lewis and the News, then followed by country singer Kenny Chesney, he asked her if she thought the mix was strange. "And she said, 'Why strange?' " Wells said. " 'It's just good music.
So here's the kicker! She's 21, the format targets males 25-54, he's all rah-rah sis koom bah over the idea at NINE FM which incidentally has the some of the lowest ratings those sticks have seen in about 20 years. Granted they're suburban sticks, those sticks used to show up in the books on a regular basis until it all got Spanished then Jack'd.
YAY! Welcome to today's radio

Re: The story...
i mean cmon now... girls change the station more then guys do, girls listen to EVERYTHING ... they use all the station banks on the stereo....me being a male, i flop from 4 stations and cds/ipod/screaming at other drivers ... all this comes down to is the fact that some exec. got drunk during pizza in a college bar, which most of the time the music is background, and with that in mind how is someone going to remember a station with its all music and commercials with stale imaging...
on that note, every girl i know has called me bitching about the bear leaving like just cause i work in radio i can make it all better.... i give maxx a year tops until the next faze of junk that people want...

When "The devil went down to Georgia" was a current in 1979 it was a big hit on Country, Top 40, and even Album Rock.

Do they stream, and what's their website? I LOVE Jack in Denver but think Max lacks in the "Jack creativity." - Jack in Denver was the first Jack in the USA but I'd love to hear Dallas - what's the site, if they stream?

According to All Access, Dallas was where it originated. They just upped Kurt Johnson to "VP of Jack Programming" (great title) Because, as Rob Barnett put it "As PD of our first JACK station, KURT has been instrumental in the format's adoption at several INFINITY stations across the country."

I love the concept of the website but don't see any personalities on the station. I left Dallas about this time last year, about a month after Jack signed on. Is it still jockless? Looks like they're all over the street with the promotions staff, which is good... but a staff of renegade style jocks would make Jack more than a jukebox.

Yeah, Dallas was INFINITY'S first Jack station - but the first Jack in the US was in Denver.
