KFMB-FM is a commercial radio station located in San Diego, California, broadcasting on 100.7 FM. KFMB-FM airs an adult hits music format branded as "Jack FM".

[edit] History

This FM radio station aired a Beautiful Music format called "Music Only For a Woman" during the late 1960s. Station Manager Ed Peters bought the rights to syndicate the format. Soon after, Peters left and started his own company known as "Peters Productions" which syndicated the format on reel-to-reel tape to over 100 stations during the 1960s - 1970s, changing the name of the format to "Music Just For The Two Of Us."

KFMB-FM started playing pop music as "B-100" in March 1975, eventually knocking off longtime AM powerhouse KCBQ in fall 1977, the latter being the big top 40 radio station in San Diego. B-100 also had major success in the 1980s, as one of the nation's first "hot" adult contemporary stations, melding top 40 hits with an adult delivery by its high-profile airstaff, including Gary Kelley, Gene Knight, morning show "The B-Morning Zoo with The Rich Brothers" featuring Bobby Rich, and later Jeff and Jer. In 1994, the station adopted the moniker "Star 100.7". Star 100.7 aired the Bob and Sheri syndicated morning drive show in the early morning hours. The format was previously a hot adult contemporary station, until April 6, 2005, when Star 100.7 flipped to the current Jack FM format. Local hosts Jeff and Jer left KFMB in August 2005 and moved across town to 94.1 FM.

[edit] Morning Shows on Jack: Monique and the Man; The DSC

The station conducted a nationwide search for a morning show in September 2005, with a $1,000,000 five year contract. The winner was the "Monique and the Man" morning show featuring Hispanic comedian Monique Marvez and former Star 100.7 DJs Greg and Sara. Greg is the 'Man' and Sara is a co-host. The show started on January 23, 2006 and ended around 2009. Near the end of this show Greg the 'Man' left the show and Monique was on with mostly music. Eventually there would be no morning show until the DSC tookover in August 2010.

On August 2, 2010, Jack FM became the radio home for the morning show DSC Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw . The show, previously on a cross town rival KGB-FM, propelled the station over two points in listener share in four weeks on air.
