You don't know Jack?

Jack radio is cheap and soulless and all about random sex; it's also the new love of my life. Who needs Howard Stern?

    You don't know Jack?

    The problem with Jack is that it doesnt get a the real root of the issue - lack of personality. If radio is going to try and compete with an iPod, it going to loose every time - iPods dont have 20 miute spot loads with screaming car ads every sixty seconds.

    Variety Hits is the cheap way out, and unfortunately has killed allot of personality driven oldies stations (101 CBS-FM and 104.3 WJMK in Chicago) in favor of trainwreck segues and wiseass liners.

    Maybe CBS Radio should listen to Sirius or XM - and find out what REAL radio sounds like...

    *note - I am a happy XM subscriber
