WWJK (94.7 FM, "94-7 Jack FM") is an adult hits radio station in Jackson, Mississippi. In July, 2008, after six years (2002–2008) in the Jackson radio market, Jacksonville-based Backyard Broadcasting had apparently sold WWJK to Meridian-based New South Radio, but the deal was called off shortly thereafter.
WWJK was previously a classic hits station known as Arrow 94.7 with the call letters WTYX. On Friday, September 3, 2004 (at 3pm CDT), under the direction of program director Russ Schell, Arrow became the first U.S. Jack FM station east of the Mississippi River. Schell left WWJK in 2005. He was replaced by Don Wayne, who still serves as the current program director and Angela Roland handles the traffic.
Jack currently runs a popular contest known as the Jack Jackpot, in which contestants who are chosen at random via a phone call can guess the current amount of money in the jackpot. If the contestant guesses the correct amount, he or she wins the jackpot and the contest starts back at $1000 and increases by $100 for every wrong guess.
