Not looking good for Jack FM, that's a huge drop.

The trouble with Jack is that they play the same bland middle of the road music everyday (although not in the same working day) so you can't tune in everyday as it gets very, well, samey. BBC Oxford is ok Till 1 when that woman comes on with guests that knit sandals etc, so that goes straight off, so we are left with the last hour of Jeremy Vine followed by Steve Wright. If Jack were to have a live presenter after 1 doing interesting things then they will pick up again, but till then, I think the honeymoon may be over, a bit like their NON-WEDDING.

I used to like Jack FM, but now find it has too many adverts, which is odd for a station that seemed to advertise itself as having more music and less adverts!

I tend to listen to BBC radio 2 now, as I can't stand Chris Moyles on Radio 1!

I find Jack has too many adverts too, I'm a Radio 2 man myself, except for the ginger moron in the morning.
I'd be quite willing to be a live jock for Jack, playing a wide variety of music, I've got a very eclectic taste, and experience.

I still like Radio 1 in the morning, followed by Classic FM until Cotton has finished, and then the lovely Scot Mills. From then on I flick between Heart, Glide and Radio 2. Jack is rubbish, and my husband loves it. he has no taste.

Yeah, but nobody would see them on the Radio, unless I broadcast from home :)

It's something I've been considering for some time, but the licences and server costs are a little high for my current budget :(
