On June 3rd, 2005 WJMK-FM flipped from Oldies to the Jack Fm moniker. Playing a mix of adult variety hits, or oldies for a younger generation as I like to say, the station leans towards airing hit songs from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Still going strong today, WJMK has Jack in its future for now. That is until the dollars stop rolling in.

JACK-FM
Programming a radio station with jocks behind the microphone is a tradition. In contrast with this, Jack FM branded stations do not utilize disc jockeys or any on-air talent. Their “gimmick” in the age of i-pods, satellite radio, podcasts, and the internet is to “play what we want.” Another is "Jack FM. Radio that breaks all the rules." They do just that. That means that the station does not even take listener requests. The station itself acts as one large i-pod, segueing from song to song with an edgy and somewhat witty voice tracked character “jack” saying a line or two.
