WCBS-FM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia WCBS-FM is a New York City radio station, broadcasting on 101.1 MHz FM, which was famous for playing oldies music before flipping to the Jack FM format abruptly in early June 2005. In the overall summer 2005 ratings period, the station had a 1.5 rating 12+, which was the lowest of any commercial FM station in New York. Some believe that this was a way to cater to younger demographics, since the average age of an oldies station listener these days is considered "undesirable" to advertisers (though WCBS was skewing slightly younger than oldies stations in other markets due to having more 70s and 80s songs in its rotation). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/WCBS-FM   (1840 words)

Jack FM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the same day that WCBS-FM made the switch, 104.3 WJMK, an oldies station in Chicago, Illinois, changed format to 104.3 Jack FM as well. One of the main criticisms of the Jack FM format has been that with the elimination (or at least reduction) of the role of the DJ, radio is losing its main selling point over an iPod, which is the sense that a live person is programming your music. The majority of the Jack FM stations in the United States are owned by Infinity Broadcasting. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jack_FM   (1883 words)

New York Radio Guide - Station Information for WCBS-FM The FM station moved to 96.9 MHz in 1945 and its call letters were changed to WCBS-FM in November, 1946.

On November 1, 1943, its call letters were changed to WABC-FM to agree with CBS` AM station, whose call letters were derived from the name of WABC`s former owner, the Atlantic Broadcasting Company. www.nyradioguide.com /cgi-bin/info.cgi/WCBS-FM   (135 words)

AM Broadcasting History - Various Articles WCBS returned to the air broadcasting with a 10,000-watt transmitter in Long Island City, Queens, that was lent to it for the emergency by radio station WLIB. The FM broadcasts of the two stations, which are transmitted from the Empire State Building, were not affected.

xm411.com - FM's Ever-Shrinking Playlist FM (and AM) radio stations are so out of touch with how a radio station should be that it makes me even more happy that XM exists. In this day of Clear Channel and contant repetition all of the once-good FM channels are either changing their format or have gotten worse in quality. In New York, that balancing act is compounded by the launch of the new "Mix" format at sister station WNEW-FM (102.7 FM). www.xm411.com /phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1750   (730 words)

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. 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. Which is basically the same thing as many other FM stations these days (this "hole in the market" business is malarkey). idlemendacity.blogspot.com /2005/06/wcbs-fm-doesnt-know-jack.html   (1949 words)

Fast Company Now Although it is nice that the oldies are only a click away on www.wcbsfm.com, and the WCBS FM advertisers acknowledged over the Internet, "We're not gone; we just moved!," my point is that we cannot always carry the computer in the car with us. I am urging the media to please bring WCBS FM back to 101.1 so that my car rides will be more enjoyable and pleasurable with my favorite oldies playing in the background and getting me through the day! If WCBS would have faded away and die a natural death we could accept it but to be murdered is another story. blog.fastcompany.com /archives/2005/06/06/you_dont_know_jack.html   (7694 words)

Funky16Corners: The Spinners - It's A Shame / WCBS-FM RIP It was especially important because as other “oldies” stations started up in the market, and beat the same two dozen songs into the ground mercilessly, WCBS was always there, like an oasis in the desert playing something interesting. As time wore on, and other New York radio giants fell to market research and changing times, WCBS was always there.

My dad used to listen to WCBS whenever he would drive me to school years ago, so I was just as miffed when I heard about this.
