. (FMQB) Last month we reported that a new company called SparkNet Communications became the exclusive U.S. licensor and owner of the Jack-FM format, including the trademarked "playing what we want" slogan.

The suit was filed in San Diego Federal District Court. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
