I'm just glad the original KTFM was gotten rid of.

102.7 changes formats like I change my socks.

[CrashMag]

when did all this happen????

[Kori Ellis]

At 4pm today.

[Ishta]

what kind of format is it now?

[Oh, Gee!!]

102.7 changes formats like I change my socks.

you change your socks every 4 years?

[Ishta]

it's called jack fm.. it's a pretty good station they had it in Dallas, and it's sorta like bob fm out of Austin

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Jack FM (Bob FM is the same thing) is something CBS coined but its pretty much the same format Magic 105.3 uses (70's, 80's, 90's, and todays hits) except Jack FM is ALL automated.

[blaze89]

I was shocked when I tuned in this afternoon. I thought it was a bad joke but they are done. Nothing was wrong with the format but the fact that they powers that be never put any money in the damn thing. Shame....I think it's time to invest in satellite radio.

[JoeChalupa]

I'm stickin' to free radio.

KZEP for my classic rock and KONO for the oldies.

[batman2883]

oh my god......fucking tlong has an awesome sig...i love big boobies

[T Park]

I'm stickin' to free radio.



Why be such a grumpy stick in the mudd.

Make the switch.

Youlll be happy you did!!

[spurschick]

Damn, I liked KROCK.
So, what happens to all the djs who left KISS and made those spots about "making the switch"? :lol

My guess is that they are unemployed. Occupational hazard. Radio is a dicey business from a job standpoint.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, a lot of those people who made the switch were OLD Kiss DJs too. Sucks for them. Suckas!

They are all fired, according to FMQB (http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=160495):

KSRX Goes Jack FM

Janaury 3, 2006

Taunting the market since Saturday (12/31) afternoon by first going jockless and airing slogans like "102.7 K-Rock will become free in 2006," CBS Radio's San Antonio Rock station, KSRX, did not go Free FM as had been widely speculated in the past few days but instead flipped to the "Jack FM Playing What We Want" format at 4 P.M. Central this afternoon.

"Audiences are demanding more from radio than the standard 350 song playlist, and San Antonio is no exception,” said CBS Radio/San Antonio Market Manager Reid Reker. “As we looked around the country for formats that are being embraced by listeners, Jack clearly stood out as a total success. It crosses all the boundaries and breaks all the rules and we look forward to bringing this fresh, fun and exciting presentation to San Antonio.”

And for those keeping score, this brings the total number of stations in CBS Radio's portfolio to feature the Jack format to 12.

With the move, the entire airstaff has been dismissed, however, PD Mark Landis remains firmly entrenched.

Speaking of Mr. Landis, congratulations are in order as he became engaged to the lovely Deborah Martin over the holiday break. No date for the upcoming nuptials yet.

[NeoConIV]

Was listening to "Tell her about it" on 102.7 on the way home and kept thinking...would they play this on 102? Am I going crazy ? This isn't rock...is it? Then I heard the Jack FM dude, who says the most annoying shit. Like for Bob FM in Austin used to say, "It's like Waterloo Records...on Shuffle" Bua hahaha...Fucking spare me. Not only was that shamelessly pathetic, also completely untrue. Whoever created that little stupid plug has obviously never been to Waterloo.

RIP Free Beer ...gonna miss you dawg.

Screw Bob and Jack.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The return of NeoConIV!!!

[ZStomp]

I'm stickin' to free radio.

KZEP for my classic rock and KONO for the oldies.


Free. :lmao Free and Joe Chalupe belong together like rice and beans. :lmao

pssstt 102.7 is also free!

[SA210]

I'm just glad the original KTFM was gotten rid of.
KTFM was sucking bad.

Anyone remember POWER 93 with Rick the Stick?
:lmao

[N.Y. Johnny]

Free. :lmao Free and Joe Chalupe belong together like rice and beans. :lmao

pssstt 102.7 is also free!



:lmao Thats Terrific, Thats Terrific.


KROCK bit the dust, fucking unoriginal piece of shit hack station. Everything about this station was total Hack "hoo hoo, rip em off'" radio.

Krock, one of a dozen clones following in the shadow of Howard Stern's KROK New York

and even those "Free Beer and Catfish" character names...way to rip off "Free Beer" and "Hot Wings" from over in PA. Hacks.

Kid Chris was decent for Terrestrial radio while he was there but it stinks.

Look who it is!

Mousy! :wow

[davi78239]

I knew that K-Rock wouldn't last long in S.A. At least they're doing something that's in all across the country (bob&jack) and didn't flip it back to the old KTFM. By the way, I would invest in satellite radio for those who are thinking about it. It's definetly worth it if you have some change to spare.

[RashoFan]

KTFM was sucking bad.

Anyone remember POWER 93 with Rick the Stick?
:lmao
I remember Power 93, I think I still have an OLD bumper sticker that says Power 93. I remember listening to "The Morning Zoo". Rick owns or used to own a "record shop" off of Walzem. The DJ on Kiss that is known as Ron James used to be" Smoking RJ Reynolds" back in the days at KITY 92.9/Power 93. Damn I'm feeling old....thanks ...:flipoff :lol

[SequSpur]

Yeah, CJ Cruz made the switch... so did some other dude.. can't remember his name.

[TonyMontana]

rumor has it drex is leaving for chicago too...:depressed

[SA210]

They did frickin remix to every damn song that would come out.

I wonder whatever happened to them.

Miss Ree is probably working Presa right now. :lol

[blaze89]

Remember the stunt KTFM did that resulted in free publicity from most (if not all) the local newscast? Didn't last...

The loss of KSRX really sucks, it's good to have little competition. I never saw any advertising for K-ROCK, I'd see tons of billboards for KISS but nothing for K-ROCK, they just never put any money behind it.

[Mixability]

The stunt where they were "hijacked" and Wild Thing by Tone-Loc played on a loop? :lol Idiots!

That's it! :lol talk about being fooled! Didn't work though, afterwards Wyld 102.7 went to K-ROCK.

[Mixability]

I remember when it was Hot 103, I would call in all the time as a kid to request Tequila by Pee Wee Herman! :lol

[SA210]

^^^ yea :lol then it turned to Joey Dee's annoying voice,

"102.7 KTFM, meet us at YO-YOOOOOOOOOOO"S"

[Sonia_TX]

I wonder whatever happened to them.

Miss Ree is probably working Presa right now. :lol

Miss Ree has her own hair salon on Broadway and has a bit on one of the morning tv shows. I think the segment is called "Ask Miss Ree" and viewers write in and ask her questions about style or something. My mom was watching it the other day and asked me who she was.

[Mixability]

My mom was watching it the other day and asked me who she was.

Who "he" was? :lol

[JoeChalupa]

I like it.
Last night I listened to some BOC then I can't remember what but the variety is cool. Kind of like changing the channel hands free.

And I love FREE stuff.

[TheTruth]

Cool, I like the music BobFM plays.

[Horry For 3!]

I remember when 102.7 was like rap, hip hop, that kind of music.

[Sonia_TX]

Who "he" was? :lol

Well that too! Mom couldn't believe that she used to be a he. haha

[Mixability]

Well that too! Mom couldn't believe that she used to be a he. haha

she might have well stayed a he, cause I'm sure no man would want "her"!

[sa_butta]

Man that he/she was a beast I saw it a club one night.

KSYM is currently the best free radio station in San Antonio.


Once again.

I like KSYM. Too bad the signal doesn't as far as I would like it.

[rr2418]

Joe Anthony of KMAC-KISS 1978 end of story,

Anyone remember Musical star streams from the 80s ? I like that type of music.


Yeah, Musical Star Streams was pretty cool! They played New Age music. It was good music to relax to.

[TheWriter]

If there was a local radio station that played stuff like:

Fury in the Slaughterhouse
Lemon Jelly
O.A.R
Of Montreal
The Cloud Room
Say Hi To Your Mom
Bloc Party
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

All day long, I'd get rid of my XM radio.

All I listen to on XM is XM Cafe, XMU, and Ethel.

[rr2418]

I really don't listen to todays rock all that much, so the demise of KROCK is no biggie! 99.5 Kiss is enough! I haven't heard the new station, so I guess I'll give it a try.

My station is KZEP Classic Rock!! :drunk

[Sonia_TX]

she might have well stayed a he, cause I'm sure no man would want "her"!

But he/she is pretty. It's a damn shame that a man can be that pretty as a woman... :depressed

[Mixability]

But he/she is pretty.

You DO need LASIK. :lol

[Sonia_TX]

You DO need LASIK. :lol

lol shut up. haha

But really... it's just sad.

They stream... (http://www.accd.edu/sac/ksym/index.htm)doesn't do much for ya if you are driving anywhere in the world outside of Loop 410, but at least you can listen at home.

[Trainwreck2100]

Now if only they get rid of kid Crappic in the morning, my radio will be crap free.

[RashoFan]

Yeah, CJ Cruz made the switch... so did some other dude.. can't remember his name.
I believe it was Brian"BK" Kendall

[Silver21_Black20]

So...what do you guys think of the new Jack FM that replaced K-ROCK?

Hey Rasho was the morning guy on Power 93 names Elvis Duran? I was in high school and that was my favorite station.

As for Jack-FM I like it, I think it is the twin brother of BOB-FM in Austin.

Also I think Rick the Stick is on 94.1 again, anyone remember in the mid 80's when he wrestled for the local wrestling show?

[pooh]

I went to HS with Rick the stick, he was at our 20th reunion last October.

[Willinsa]

I think Rick the Stick was on KITY in the 80's right?

[Horry For 3!]

I only listen to 99.5 Kiss

[davi78239]

It sure took S.A a while to get one of these "jack/Bob" type of stations that have been sweeping across the country since last year. So much for K-Rock flipping to an alternative rock format like 101X up in Austin. O well.

[rr2418]

So...what do you guys think of the new Jack FM that replaced K-ROCK?

I think Jack FM is a good station!!! It plays songs I haven't heard in a long time. You could be listening to Duran Duran, and then suddenly Gun n Roses!! I think it's a good format. A little bit of everything for everyone!!! :spin

[Zombie]

I think Jack FM is a good station!!! It plays songs I haven't heard in a long time. You could be listening to Duran Duran, and then suddenly Gun n Roses!! I think it's a good format. A little bit of everything for everyone!!! :spin
I agree! :smokin

I also agree, great selection.

Everything for everyone? Screw that. I want a station that plays music for ME.

Oh yeah, I got one!

The Outlaw 92.5 (http://www.925krpt.com/main.html)

Clear Channel finally got one right!
