105.9 Jack FM : KFJK-FM : Playing What We Want! : Fresno, California

About JACK FM

Welcome to JACK FM

We'd love to tell you that we spent a million dollars researching the market and found that the loyal Central Valley listener was looking for this format. Instead, we used our research budget to go to Vegas. And that's where we decided that we were going to take over this station and play what we want... Cool?

Jack FM is not only a new kind of station; it's also a state of mind. (Too deep? Get over it) It's totally different than anything else on the radio. Most stations play the same 20 songs all day every day and the DJ chatter is as lame and boring as their lives are. Why are we forced to hear about their big crush on Mario Lopez or about their favorite dancer on Dancing with the Stars? Shut up and play some tunes man!

That's where Jack FM comes in. No DJ's. No requests. Less commercials. Just more music - with a playlist of over 1500 songs. Halleluiah!

We don't sound like the other guys. And we don't stink like them either. You'll get just about every style and genre of music on Jack, from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. We have, however, left our Polka and Square Dancing records at home. At least for now….stay tuned.
