When Rational Radio lost its AM frequency at the start of the year, Jack E. Jett, who hosted a weekend talk show on the progressive station, decided to work on other projects. He promised one was a pretty big deal … and turns out it is.
Jett has parlayed his radio ilume gig with ilume honcho Luke Crosland into an evening slot on CNN Radio 1190 AM. ilume-A-nation is Jett’s two-hour gabfest, starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 25. This is pretty major news, considering Jett’s very-out (and very outre) personality is being given voice on a Clear Channel frequency.
The show was set to debut this past Monday, but Jett delayed the start date a week. No biggie, except I was supposed to be his first co-host, but I will be out of town this Monday… so I get to be his fourth co-host starting next Thursday, Jan. 28. Still pretty cool.

Love that Jett man. Does that mean Jack is a Republican now that he’s on CNN?
I think he bought the airtime, then will sell ads and keep the revenue. (Actually, split with Crosland).
