San Diegos' Jack: Is it more Rhythmic Friendly?

R

Radiogeek500

I know it feels weird to say that, but I feel that as opposed to other Jacks KFMB-FM may actually be more Rhythmic friendly then most other Jacks. I heard Justified and Acient by the KLF tonight and I've heard other songs of a Rhythmic nature on this particular Jack. I have to say that this is the way I would prefer a Jack to sound, but I understand each market is unique.

It's safe to say that San Diego's Jack FM is monkey friendly.

That has to be the most racist remark I've ever read on this forum.

Knowing Chris, I'm sure he means something different than what you are thinking, but then, knowing you, any excuse to bash Chris will always be taken.<P ID="signature">______________

Wasn't Chris referring to the TV commercial in SD with a monkey playing DJ or something of that nature?

That would be "The Jack Monkey," TV commerials which can be viewed via the website http://www.sandiegojack.com by clicking on the "Jack on TV" link.

I normally just view the banter between the frequent flyers and think how petty it all is. However to think that Chris' comment was not a double entendre is ludacrous. If it was not, it was thoughtless and insensitive.

I think it even more reprehensible that someone would jump on another assuming that his take on it has to be right because he has continuous petty arguments in all threads with one-third of the posters.

Get real. Have some common decency people.
 
You're the one who needs to get real

If you do not understand what I have posted, then there are no amount of words that I could post in a reply that will help you to comprehend. To keep this post radio related, there are KLSD listeners and there are KOGO listeners. We shall agree to disagree. God Bless America.
 
Re: You're the one who needs to get real

How does anybody get from "KFMB-FM more Rhythmic friendly then most other Jacks" to "San Diego's Jack FM is monkey friendly" without seeing the implication of an ethnic slur? Is it just me? Am I the only one who can see the racist connection there? Please.

Anyway, to stay on topic, KFMB-FM's more Rhythmic friendly programming obviously isn't working. See Arbitron for details.

Nice try on trying to stay on-topic, but ...

Putting a reference to KLSD and KOGO into a thread on KFMB-FM is <u>still</u> off-topic.

And I don't care whether or not you agree to disagree on that.

A real answer

I don't know how to answer your jab, mr leighton. Your quick to punch, you like to jab -- and you've been doing this since 1997. That's nine years of your B.S. (not balanced story). I don't know what I have ever done to your personally, but I suspect it was the profession that did it. For readers who don't know, I took over the North County Times radio column in 1997 for 18 months after Ken departed.

If you think the comment/remark is racist, go ahead, Ken. It was, as some posters suspected, a twist on the Jack FM monkey ads. That's all. If you draw your conclusion, that's your right. You may be alone in the conclusion Ken; again that's your right. I will, however, tell the reading audience it was that: a twist on the Jack FM monkey ads.

Mr. Leighton, despite your constent jabs, your pokes, and your alligations: Love your show, see you on the radio or in the Reader.<P ID="signature">______________

It seems to me that we are just making fun of the Jack ads... the ones with a, ahem, monkey in them. This is like saying that Sea World is dolphin friendly.

What could be racist about that?

And, since this is a real topic, remeber that neaarly all the major market Jack stations are locally researched. The concept may be syndicated, but the execution, playlist and much of the imaging is local.

I am probably as sensitive or moreso to slurs than most, given where I worked and have worked... and all I see is a refernce to the Jack monkey in the ads.

And the ads themselves try to show that other stations, even if they have live jocks, are silly and all you get is "monkey business" (is that a slur too?) from them.

What could possibly be a slur about that?

I've been listening to Jack-FM this past week. I too noticed more tunes with beat in them. It caused me to turn to LA Jack to see if they had made changes. They still rock harder so they did not make changes. The San Diego Jack music I think is really neat as is their cute commercials. I like San Diego Jack even better now since they play more songs with beats. I hope it helps their ratings.... Oh, My.. (no offense to myopics)

Thanks for the e-mail, Chris. You're a cut above the rest. Keep up the great work at SD Radio!!

Re: ENOUGH!/Message from old schooler

Is this really two radio columnists fighting it out?
Probably the most interesting thing I've seen here
yet. What are you moderators really afraid of?
You wouldn't have lasted long back in the day, when
a Rod Page or K.O. Bayley would tap you on the shoulder.
Now that was fear. We used to drink together, fight
together, and do f-----ing good radio. Now its a bunch
of pimply kids, throwing poison darts over the Internet.
I'll take my way.

I like 100.7 Jack FM!

No, not two radio columnists fighting it out, but one poster unfairly pulling a punch against another, which has no place here. And that is all I will say about that.

<bold>Now about 100.7 Jack FM</bold>, I am begining to like the station. I thik all Jacks really are very similar. I find that just like anything else, it is all about chance. If you have Red Marbles, and Green Marbles and Blue Marbles, and you throw 'em all into a bag, chances are, are different times you will get more of one than the other. Put another way, I've discovered that depending when I listen, I sometimes get more classic rock songs than disco. Other times, I get more 80's songs than anything else. Other times, I get more 70s, or more new stuff. It's all about chance. Additionally, I've made this discovery about every Jack FM that I've listened to.

But I think if there is one constant with all Jack FMs (and strictly Jack FMs), it is the format has no consistancy to it. Just like Top 40 was in the pre-80's era, you are just as likely to hear any Hit from any decade at any time.

There are also some very interesting consitancies to being Jack:
ALL Jack FMs run the same jingle package EXACTLY, the "You" package, from TM Century, first used on the Vancouver Jack. This includes 100.7 Jack FM.
And, ALL Jack FMs have one of EXACTLY two Image logos: Either the "Deck of Cards" logo, used by Major market Jacks in NY, LA and Chicago, or the "Jack Banner" logo used by the like of San Diego or Dallas. I did notice that the "Deck of Cards" Jack is often employed by CBS Radio Jacks, but I don't know if that's unpurpose or not.

So, I think the fact that Radiogeek heard more Rhythmic songs on 100.7 Jack FM was just left up to chance, and nothing more. Of course, that's just my uninformed opinion. Who knows if Tracy Johnson is up to something. He didn't just fall off the turnup truck.

(and why is it always a "Turnup Truck" anyway? But this is off topic...)
