[BC] JACK: SURREALISM LIVES

[Mark Durenberger]

I was just told by a highly respected, long-time member of Infinity's 
50-kilowatt giant here in Minneapolis, that "Jack is clearly the answer to 
the satellite radio threat."

Meanwhile his station continues to play XM radio spots.

I feel like I just wandered into the script of the "Goon Show."


'Jack' of course isn't new...I believe the actual format was on the air for 
several months in Eastern Colorado...before someone from one coast or the 
other probably heard it and hi-jacked it (pun intended).

Michael Bloomberg was right when he said "most broadcasters haven't had an 
original idea since 1929."

Have a great day y'all!
