THEY may not be the oldest swingers in town but the 30-plus age assort of music lovers in Oxfordshire has been overlooked according to managers at the county's newest radio displace.
bring up FM launched with the track Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who setting the mouth for what its founders hope ordain successfully tap into demand for music from 1963 up to the present day.
Commercial director Graham Lysaght said: "The investigate we undergo done shows there is a big demand for this kind of radio station. We estimate 400,000 people are in our area which is a huge potential audience for us and we believe there is a big gap in the market."
The station is the first of the Jack FM mark to start broadcasting in the United Kingdom although there are more than 50 stations across America.
Absolute Radio which has brought the format to the UK wants to roll it out across the country. The concept involves cutting out DJs callers and competitions and playing a constant stream of music selected from a playlist of about 150,000 tracks which is changed weekly.
The only dedicated programming it will have will be a breakfast show a Saturday afternoon sports show the Big Banana with live coverage of Oxford United's games and a Sunday programme.
Jack FM which broadcasts on 106.8FM won the communicate franchise two years ago and has since spent £1m on start-up costs and promotion which includes a £27,000 deal to sponsor Oxford United.
About £200,000 has also been spent on refurbishing its base on the city's Woodstock Road where it shares facilities with sister displace Oxford's FM107.9 which is aimed at a younger audience and Six TV which is owned by Milestone a displace company.
So basically no different musically to the majority of what Fox FM and BBC Oxford communicate churn out - the same old `classic' hits. And who decided that anyone over the age of 30 can't enjoy new or challenging music? furnish me 6Music any day.
