NotTV: Florida FM puts POTUS' name in theirs

[Bob Jersey]

Going further than three stations in another city there did in '19 with their excerpts of Don's speeches between songs (my report here [link]), 93.7 WXNX Sanibel/Fort Myers/Naples rebrands as "Trump Country," going jockless but with a Don-impersonator cracking jokes between the tunes... reminds me of when WCBS-FM NY began its ill-fated life as "Jack," but its website and stream were pulled down so I can't confirm...

And the majority of Jack FM stations worldwide, although some in the U.S. have a DJ staff and I believe the British Jacks have a breakfast show.  Some of the U.S. and Canada Jacks have replaced Howard Cogan with a less snarky voice, while a cast member from "Blake's Seven" continues to be Jack's UK voice.

I know the people who run Jack in the UK - which is obviously a licence of the format. Indeed there are a few versions of Jack in the UK. 

Sadly, Paul Darrow, who played Avon in Blake's 7, died last year after a number of health issues (Jack's website is way out of date). He's been replaced by someone who was best known as a sports presenter - Jim Rosenthal.
