That's a bit of a shocker . . . I thought the owners of the SLC Jack were going to put it on a move-in. Looks like Infinity beat them to the punch.

Thanks for the post -- I received an e-mail tip about that (from a very high-up source) soon after the fact. Interesting that they stunted with Christmas music for an hour before the switch.<P ID="signature">______________

There is actually some symbolism in the first few songs Las Vegas' new "Jack" played:
> FLYING LIZARDS Money That's What I Want
Maybe the previous format wasn't very profitable. If this "Jack", like most of the others, is to run long-term without live personalities, the station's payroll will be vastly reduced, which would make the station more profitable.
> AC/DC Highway To Hell
For some listeners of the former format, "Jack" may indeed be a rude shock.
> EMF Unbelievable
Another listener reaction.
> THE ROLLING STONES Jumpin' Jack Flash
He's playing what he wants.....he's Jack.

Agreed, Infinity timed this one well. The Jack playing card was a smart choice on the (Jack 100.5 website. I laughed hard when I read on All Access about how they said that Jack won the station from a guy named Joel (Hollander perhaps?) in Texas Hold 'Em Poker at the MGM Grand. Pretty clever...<P ID="signature">______________
