2. history
One of the early originators of this format was radio programmer Bob
Perry, on an American Internet radio stream in 2000. Perry named the
station after a fictitious persona, "Cadillac Jack" Garrett, "a hard-living
radio cowboy." The back story created by Perry for the original web
stream was that Garrett, a DJ who had worked many "big sticks," finally
got his own radio station and after years of being told what he was to play
on-air was creating a station where the motto was "playing what we want."
However, according to Rogers Communications, the only thing taken,
without permission, for the first Jack FM radio station, in Vancouver, was
the name and the tagline. Pat Cardinal, one of the first JACK Program
Directors, says that he was unaware of the type of music on the American
website and that "JACK" was one of several names that were considered
for the format. Rogers Communications came to an agreement with Perry
for the use of the Jack FM name in Canada soon after the launch. The
original webstream is still live to this day.
