OtsAV, The Technology Behind A Radio Revolution - JACK-FM. OtsAV is the technology behind the original JACK-FM station. JACK-FM founder, Bob Perry, first discovered OtsAV from the engineer of a small AM station on Long Island, Bob explains, "I was impressed how good and tight the station sounded...I downloaded the demo...the rest is history".

The JACK-FM concept was inspired by Bob's "button-puncher" wife, friends and a few holiday parties. "I realised that no one listens to just one genre of music in their life. We all enjoy different sounds at different times. Upbeat pop, good rock 'n' roll, oldies, Sinatra or a little country heartbreaker now and then." With this inspiration Bob loaded his OtsDJ [OtsAV] program with a wide variety of music and launched the original online JACK-FM station in late 2000.

Seven years later, JACK-FM is a world-wide phenomenon being played in over 70 stations in the USA, Canada, Russia, United Kingdom. Meanwhile the original online station is still happily running on OtsDJ [OtsAV].

Bob admits that OtsAV's segue control (auto-mixing) has saved him hours by eliminating the need to set heads/tails, segue points and the like to songs. "Ots is rip it and forget it! I'm always amazed at the great segues and my listeners are too." Bob explains. The OtsAV Scheduling and Logging feature is another one of Bob's favorites, helping to create a truly professional station.

Reminiscing, Bob casually comments "Funny how OtsDJ [OtsAV] helped launch a radio revolution huh? Boy is that a promo for Ots!"
