Jack FM

"Jack FM" is the moniker and on-air brand of several radio stations in Canada and the United States. Jack stations play a mix of 1970s, 1980s and 1990s hits with some current hot adult contemporary singles. Jack stations use the slogan "playing what we want", and promote themselves as having a larger and more varied playlist than other commercial radio stations. It is not unusual for a Jack-FM station to have a playlist of over 1000 songs compared to a normal FM station which sometimes have play lists of fewer than 100 songs. The stations are officially classified as the Variety Hits or Adult Hits format by radio research companies, but has also been referred to unofficially as random radio or an "iPod shuffle" format. Some dispute the "iPod shuffle" characterization, since that is a personalized listening experience, whereas Jack is a hit-based format designed to appeal to the Adult 25-54 demographic, aiming specifically at 35-44 year olds.
