I'm not sure what the reporter for WCBS TV was thinking in her coverage of the format change for CBS-FM. i'm not saying be biased FOR the change, but don't be biased against it.
her story began by saying "it's the day the music died "(ripped off from the Post) then did one interview after another with pissed off listeners. It was completely negative and one-sided AGAINST CBS.

Viacom/Infinity has made a huge mistake with this 101.1 Jack-FM crap.
I bet the old 101.1 WCBS-FM will return in a few months.
New Yorkers are outraged. This "new format" that plays an mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, and present-day music that CBS says is not being played by anyone else is the market IS BEING PLAYED BY EVERYONE ELSE!
We had Mix 105 and it failed. We had Blink 102.7 and it failed. We have Mix 102.7 and it's failing. We have 95.5 WPLJ and it's doing so-so.
Sticking to their oldies format was actually living up to the PR crap of serving a demographic in this market.
Oh, and by the way, 101.1 is not the station I tune into (I don't actually listen to radio too often)...I'm just sad to see a New York institution taken away in the blink of an eye by a money-hungry corporation.
