INFINITY BRINGS JACK TO LOS ANGELES Bram Teitelman – Billboard At 5pm on March 17, Infinity flipped classic rock KCBS Los Angeles to the eclectic "Jack" format. Operating under the "Playing What We Want" slogan, the station's playlist consists of over 1,200 songs by artists ranging from Prince, the Rolling Stones, R.E.M., the Cure, and No Doubt. Infinity Los Angeles VP of programming Kevin Weatherly will continue to program KCBS.
"We are thrilled to launch the next great radio station in Los Angeles," KCBS VP/GM Jeff Federman said in a statement. "Tremendous variety and less repetition go against traditional wisdom, but it is the key to success with Jack-FM and we're confident listeners will embrace the station as they never have before." "Launching Jack-FM is a natural evolution for the station following the incredible run of Arrow 93.1," Weatherly commented. "With a massive library of songs and an irreverent attitude, we're going to have a lot of fun and shake up the Los Angeles radio landscape."
