Anyways just taking opinions on the matter

Thanks so much and have a happy holiday!!!
 
Jack FM owned by CBS, Nine-FM by Newsweb Corp/Fred Eychaner

Jack FM broadcast from Sears Tower on one frequency (104.3) covering all of Chicago and collar counties, Nine-FM broadcast from three rimshot frequencies (92.5, 92.7, 99.9) with collar-county coverage but poor signal into Chicago

Jack FM shows song/artist via HD Radio and RDS, Nine-FM does not

Jack FM has somewhat tighter playlist, Nine-FM a bit more open but sometimes "off the wall"

Jack FM says "Playing What We Want," Nine-FM says "We Play Anything"

Jack FM has no on-air personalities, Nine-FM does and also has Mix-101.9 style morning show
 
I listen to Jack 104.3 at work, 50 hours a week for quite a long time. We listen because the other stations talk too much, and I have to give Jack credit because of the lack of talk, the commercials are quite tolerable......The songs are in rotation, so its not like I could predict exactly what time a song will play...But, it seems like Jack chooses a handfull of songs from an artist. Nine on the other hand, Ive had to look on the internet to try to figure out what song played that I havent heard on other stations in a while. (example is Red Hot Chili Peppers "My Friends" ---usually a station will play Under the Bridge or Give it Away.) I guess what I am trying to say is some artists produce 100's of songs, and most stations pick very few, it seems 9-fm picks a few more IMHO
 
Nine is better. more tighter 80s and the play anything is stupid. i requested polka and they wouldnt play it.. said they dont have it.
