Hi,

Just a "four your information" note on this "local" station Jack FM, 
especially if you're hoping to find a contact email or phone number to 
inquire about Web page coding and accessibility. If you google "jackfm" 
you'll get pages of hits listing each and every Jack FM station in the U.S. 
and Canada as well as the U.K.., especially Australia. The stations are 
franchises of a broadcasting venture that began with one station in 
Vancouver, B.C. and, moving from Rogers Communications Group to Big Stick 
Communications, bought out and franchised stations in many, many radio 
"markets." They're like McDonald's, essentially. They control many factors 
related to the station's' playlists, the contract forbids a new recruit 
station to use any of its own deejays for varying periods of time after the 
deal, and all but one of them use the voice of a man named Howard Cogan as 
that Jack voice we all know and love. Or don't.  I'm not objecting to liking 
the station. I listen to it sometimes while I'm working out. No problem. Of 
course that's here in Los Angeles, where it's one of my "local" stations. 
:-)

Here's the Wikipedia link to learn about this unique network in full.

Hi Allan,
How about those buttons not affiliated with flash?

for instance, there is the website of

http://www.965jackfm.com/

Which is a link to a local radio station. On that page, some of the buttons 
are just number or appear to be titled inappropriate for screen readers. Any 
suggestions?
