THE
SIGNAL
With Jackson Hammer
No scripts. No filters. No filler. Friday and Saturday nights at 9PM CST — live music, real talk, and whatever's on the dial.
About the Show
LIVE. LOUD.
UNFILTERED.
The Signal is Hammer Radio's flagship broadcast — a live, unscripted show that runs every Friday and Saturday night from 9PM to midnight, Central Time.
Expect deep cuts alongside current releases, real opinions on what's moving in music right now, listener requests taken in real time through the app, and whatever else ends up on the desk by showtime. No two broadcasts are the same.
This is independent radio done right — no corporate playlist, no time-slot compromises, no one telling Jackson what to spin.

9:00 PM – 12:00 AM

What's on the Dial
WHAT TO EXPECT
WHEN YOU TUNE IN
The Music
Deep cuts, new releases, forgotten classics, and whatever Jackson thinks deserves airtime. No algorithm. No formula.
Real Talk
Commentary on what's happening in music, the industry, and whatever else is worth saying out loud at 9PM on a Friday.
Live Requests
App listeners send requests directly to the broadcast desk in real time. If it fits the signal, it gets played.
No Filler
Three hours. No dead air, no padding, no corporate interference. Just the signal, start to finish.

Host & Founder — Hammer Radio
Jackson Hammer has been in and around radio, music, and broadcasting long enough to know exactly what independent radio should sound like — and what it shouldn't.
Hammer Radio is the result: a fully independent operation with its own streaming infrastructure, its own app, and zero obligation to anyone but the listeners. No playlists handed down from above. No formats to follow. Just the music and the conversation it starts.
The Signal is where it all happens — live, unfiltered, and exactly what you'd expect from someone who built this thing from scratch because no one else was doing it right.
The Full Experience
LIVE CHAT & REQUESTS
DURING EVERY SHOW
The Hammer Radio app puts you inside the broadcast — real-time chat, song requests directly to the desk, push notifications when the show goes live.
