It is aimed at "under 30 professionals" with a "female skew", and is a music-heavy station with only limited speech and seven hours per week of specialist music as required by Ofcom.〔(Ofcom Format )〕 Jack FM 2 competes with Heart Thames Valley, BBC Oxford and sister station Jack FM Oxfordshire, as well as some online Community Radio and DAB stations in Oxfordshire. Previously known under a variety of names since its inception in 1997 (see history), most recently Glide FM, the station launched in its current incarnation on 20 August 2013.〔http://radiotoday.co.uk/2013/08/listen-to-the-launch-of-jackfm-2-oxford/〕 The station is based at 270 Woodstock Road in north Oxford, formerly the site of Six TV - The Oxford Channel and shared with Jack FM Oxfordshire. ==History== The origins of the station lie in a student radio station, Oxygen 107.9 which was trialled in November 1995 and launched at 1.07pm on Valentine's Day 1997.〔(Oxygen student radio comes alive `on air' )〕 It was acquired in late 2000 by Fusion Radio Holdings, which rebranded the station as Fusion 107.9.〔(Ofcom )〕 Fusion merged with the Milestone Group in 2003〔(BrandRepublic )〕 and the station was relaunched again as Passion 107.9 (and is still legally known as Passion Radio), but was sold to ARI Consultancy (previously known as Absolute Radio International) 〔(RadioToday )〕 in 2006, leading to another rebrand as Oxford's FM 107.9 which lasted until August 2010. Following an attempt at a format change in 2010 (see below) and sinking ratings, the station relaunched as Glide FM on 18 August 2010. The station has a wide playlist which can be influenced by visitors to the website who can request and vote for tracks to be played, then be e-mailed or messaged on Twitter when they are broadcast.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack FM 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
