As your humble moderator, my two cents:
You knew it was coming to New York, eventually... It all counted on who would be the sacrificial lamb...
Personally, given all the run that Jack got all over the country, I figured New York would not see it until the fall, at the earliest. That's why New York is a market of its own...
Many would argue that WNEW should have been the one to get Jacked. Not true. Let them have fun battling with WKTU with their own style of dance music. Then in a year from now, one of them, if not both (I still predict both at some point) will flip to Hurban, if not a derivative of the format.
I still think it's weird - this morning, Micky Dolenz celebrated his 100th show... Wonder if he will ever do show "101"? Speaking of personalities, I wonder who they'll hire... bring back from Mix 105 or even WPIX-FM retreads?
Edited to add: As far as Jack's long-term sucess... I can imagine there could be a slight uptick on the beaches... Just like the Christmas format, starting small in the malls... Whether it could sustain for a year or so, well, given that this is New York, and not Portland, Maine, there could be oppression ratings-wise. But it sounds great! (selective sarcasm)
This is all so surreal, but give it time... It just might work...
