Talk:Bob FM

message: Don't know if this goes in this article; but on October 25, 2005, variety hits radio returned to Sacramento when adult album alternative KHWD flipped to 93.7 Jack FM and its callsign to KQJK...Ranma9617 00:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Bob FM's tagline in Pittsburgh is "We play anything."  But they do not play "anything."  It is obvious that they recycle the same old music, just like every other station, they just try to pull out a little more variety, and throw in some obscure songs.  I don't even listen that often, but within a couple weeks of the station's beginning, I had heard them play "Mr. Roboto" at least three times.  I find the concept of a fictional "Bob" to be very annoying.

text: It is true, though, that their list design does include many repeats within a short period of days or a week, then changes again.  At least mine does.  But I don't know of any reputable citation that notes playlists and repeats of stations to verify their claims.  Probably advertising claims don't meet wiki standards for citations, so we should be clear that it's a slogan, not a verified claim. 174.62.68.53 (talk) 08:38, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Many Bob FM stations market themselves with the slogan "Turn your knob to Bob"; this was parodied in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 skit in which TV's Frank creates his own radio station and exhorts viewers to "Turn your crank to Frank".
How can this circa 1993 reference to MST3K's "FRANK Radio Station" be a Parody of a 2000s Radio format? This seems dubious. If anything BOB-FM might have been influenced by the FRANK reference ... Tsubasa 23:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The most noteworthy aspect of BOB FM is that the stations don't have DJs. The music is preprogrammed like a jukebox. This should be discussed in the article. --Dwane E Anderson (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That changed around 2011 for a large part of the day, at least on the Santa Rosa, CA affiliate, KNOB. —Xyzzy☥the☥Avatar 06:58, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  No DJ 

message: Have no idea which is correct, but even if both are, it should be consistently one or the other in the article rather than varying from paragraph to paragraph.  FWIW, the similar "Jack" format is primarily "Jack", although "JACK" does seem to be acceptable as well.  75.201.88.33 (talk) 01:25, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
