WKQL, (96.9) Jacksonville (Cox)
WODL/Birmingham (Cox)
Cool 107.3/Pensacola, FL (CC)
The station in Montgomery, AL (I forget calls)
WARX/Hagerstown, MD (one of my favorites)
I feel these will go next:
WOGL/Philadelphia (Infinity)
WSOX/York, PA (Susquhana)
WBIG/Washington, DC (CC)
These will become "Jacks"

Philadelphia already has "Ben-FM" and Washington has "Mix 107.3" with their new Jack-like format.

True. But even with "BEN" and "MIX" anything can happen.

Actually KKSN(Now KCHY-FM) is in Portland, Oregon.

Seattle-Tacoma still has KBSG.

You must have meant EAST of the Mississippi. Although one you forgot about out West is KFSO/Fresno. Actually in a way you could say they still play oldies...Mexican oldies! They have seen a big ratings increase since the format change.

If WBIG Washington DC Flips from oldies they will go to CC's Format Dujour Hurban as Mega

i also see WOMC/DEtroit (Infinity) ABC has a Jack Like Format at 93.1 Doug FM
WGRR/Cincinnati (Infinity) flipping Soon
KLUV/Dallas (Infinity) maybe not Jack cuz Infinity already has a Jack in Big D

Also look at CC Oldies to Maybe Flip
WMJI/Cleveland
KLOU/St Louis
KQQL/Minneapolis
WWSW/Pittsburgh

Infinity is Jacking its Oldies Stations. While CC is Either taking its some of its Long Time Rockers or Oldies Stations and Mega' them as Hurban
 
Chicago has Nine FM and that was called a Jack-like station, but it did not stop the creation of a real Jack.

I think any format without the real deal aka. Jack, Bob, Ben, Mike or Dave is apt to get a real Jack.

And then there is the possibility of a quasi-Jack competing with Jack.

Here in Austin, Channel 102.3 started two months after Bob and they play about 80% similar music to Bob.
