  WCBS (AM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WCBS, the flagship station of the CBS Radio Network, is owned by Infinity Broadcasting; a company that manages 180 stations in 40 markets spread over 22 states.
Like many MOR stations at the time, WCBS did mix in softer songs by rock and roll artists, as their ratings at the time were mediocre compaired to the higher ratings at WOR and WNEW, both of which also had MOR formats.
In 2001 WCBS won the rights to carry radio broadcasts of the New York Yankees, which the station had previously carried from 1939 to 1940 (when the outlet had the WABC call letters) and 1960 to 1966 (prior to its conversion to an all-news format).

 Idle Mendacity: WCBS-FM doesn't know JACK
That, analysts said, is essentially what drove WCBS owner Infinity Broadcasting on Friday to abruptly switch from playing oldies -- which it had done for 33 years -- to the trendy "Jack" format, a mix of rock and pop from the 1970s to today.
Advertisers want to reach younger audiences, they said, and oldies don't deliver youngsters.So while the change may have surprised WCBS listeners, it wasn't a shock to industry watchers, who said the drive to find programming that skews to younger audiences isn't unique to radio.
Moreover, while WCBS may not have earned as much as in past years, it still was the 10th-rated station in the competitive New York market.
