Anyone remember the old Mojo Radio at 640? "Talk radio for guys," went the slogan back then. Well, now a station in the U.K. has decided to take that idea and flip it on its gender, introducing a new format that plays female artists - and only female artists. It's a spin-off of the Jack idea, although why they didn't call it "Jacqueline" or "Jackie" is beyond me.
In the #metoo era, and with an emphasis on gender equality, I have to wonder how a format that played only males would be received. Come to think of it, could they even get away with a Mojo Radio today?
All-female radio station called JACK launching today

I remember it well Dale. There was a very lovely, intelligent woman by the first name Wendy; who was a jock there. Sadly I have forgotten her last name. She was the girlfriend at the time of the late "Mysterious" Mike Williams of CKFH. She would often drop by; when they were going somewhere.

Surprised that no one has made mention about the station being called "JACK". Why not "KATE", "JENN", or most any other 4-letter girl names?
The MOJO reference reminded me of their There are no Chicks in Jail - Don't Drink and Drive campaign.
Copied from Freddie P's old website;"
Buffalo Boy Mike April 21, 2010 / 21:00 Freddie, Loved Mojo when you guys made the switch, it fit you and Howard perfectly to do talk radio and why they broke up that format ill never know, it was a great lineup and fun to listen to throughout the day, it wasn't just for guys either, it was for anyone who wanted a little edgier talk radio. I still have my Stock Certificate from the show I was Stock holder #140, have the letter you and Howard sent to me and The Mojo "There are no Chicks in Jail" don't drink and drive bumper sticker framed."
I always though that was, or should have been, a pretty effective reason to not do such a thing
