Any Foreign Language "Jack's" out there?

[radiocph]

I wonder if a Jack-like format has been tried in a language other than English....

For example, a "Jose-FM," playing all sorts of Spanish music such as salsa, tropical, nortena, balada, and even an occasional "narcocorrido...."


Or in French Canada, "Jacques-FM," featuring French music from Edith Piaf to the latest French rappers:

OP, you have a handle on it!

In the Orlando area, you have:

....I can't tell you if they are a Spanish Jack, but I would think it is.

(I think I first heard about Jose on this board. It was a change from another Spanish format.)

There are some Boom stations in Quebec, but they are classic hits with DJs, rather than the Jack format.

Jose 98.1/Orlando - I didn't take the time to listen to the stream, but from what I see on the playlist, I see a blend of Latin Pop/Rock, such as Juanes. "Clasicas' ("Oldies"/"Classics") by Celia Cruz, and current Tropical, Regeton, and English CHR Crossover. So, with everything from Eddie Herrera, Celia Cruz, Mana, J-Lo, Juanes, Pit Bull, and Enrique Iglesias; I believe it qualifies for a Spanish Adult Hits/"Jack" format. I actually look forward to listening to the stream, when I can give it a good hour or so of listen time.

To answer your question, check out jack.fm. There are actual licensed JACK-FM stations in Russia, India, Austria and other countries in their native languages.
