[edit] 2007 Format Change

On the evening of Monday, March 19, 2007, DJs announced that the station was changing from the Rock/Alternative Rock format. The last DJs that night were Kira (on-air moniker: "The Queen of Rock") to 10 PM, and Dex Peck from 10 PM-midnight. The last songs under the old format: "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls; "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" by Cobra Starship; "Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother; "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus; and "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen, dedicated by Dex to a list of staffers.

The transition day of March 20th was a confusing and motley collection of music not conforming to a single genre. Across the course of the day, listeners heard a bizarre mixture of Rap, Classic Rock, Show Tunes, TV Theme Songs, Reggae, Easy Listening, and others. (Dex had promised a "funny" day.)

Shortly after midnight Central time on the morning of March 21st, 2007, the audio feed abruptly cut off in the middle of a long string of Irish Drinking Songs, and suddenly new programming came over the air, identifying the broadcast as a Jack FM station.

As of April 3rd, 2007, this station began identifying itself as KJXJ-FM.

[edit] Personalities

As Jack FM is a syndicated format, no live personalities broadcast (at least at this time).

Dex Peck was the program director under the Rock/Alternative Rock format and, according to his MySpace page, remains program director.
