This Station Is The Opposite Of Mojo Radio

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.

Also tried in the US, on WSDM Chicago (97.9, in the late 60s) and WHER when Sam Phillips owned it.

And in Flint MI on 1570 when the stn was still daytime only and the formats changed often. With all-female hosts, it was WWMN, "Flint's New Woman."

Re: This Station Is The Opposite Of Mojo Radio

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
