WCBS-FM (101.ane FM) is a radio station offering a archetype hits format licensed to New York Metropolis and is owned and operated by Audacy, Inc. The station'southward studios are in the combined Audacy facility in the Hudson Foursquare neighborhood in lower Manhattan, and its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building. The station is the habitation of the Scott Shannon in the Morning prove.

WCBS-FM was one of the first notable oldies stations in the country, with the format dating back to July 7, 1972. Between June 3, 2005, and July 12, 2007, the station aired the automated developed hits format "Jack FM". The new programming was unsuccessful, and WCBS-FM switched back to a personality-driven archetype hits format. The station is continually ranked one of the highest-rated stations in the New York market, as well as one of the highest-rated classic hits stations in the United states.[one]

History [edit]

Early years [edit]

In 1940, during the early days of FM broadcasting, what is now WCBS-FM was allocated an FM frequency and call sign, W67NY, becoming CBS's kickoff FM station. The original transmitter site was located at 500 Fifth Avenue.[ii] The allocated frequency changed several times before the station finally went on the air at 46.seven MHz on December 1, 1941.[3] On November 1, 1943, the callsign was changed to WABC-FM[4] for Atlantic Dissemination Company, the one-time owner of CBS's AM station (no relation to the present-day WABC). With the reallocation of the FM band, WABC-FM's new frequency became 96.9 MHz; finally, in September 1947 the station became WCBS-FM, and the frequency moved to the current 101.1.[5] This allowed the station to reverberate its corporate buying past the Columbia Broadcasting System or CBS. The transmitter was moved to the Empire State Building in the early 1950s.

For many years, WCBS-FM simulcast its programming with its AM sister station. From the 1940s until the late 1950s, both stations aired a typical network-dominated general entertainment format with comedies, dramas, news and data, sports, talk shows and some music. As these types of radio shows either moved to idiot box or were canceled outright, WCBS and WCBS-FM evolved toward a personality-oriented format featuring news and information, popular music, and sports. As rock and coil became popular, the stations played only softer songs of the genre.

Each of the stations began broadcasting its ain programming in 1966. The AM station retained its personality-oriented centre of the road format until August 27, 1967. WCBS-FM initially programmed a younger-leaning easy listening format known as "The Young Sound", playing soft instrumental versions of current popular music songs. This automated format was syndicated to CBS stations beyond the state and to AFN (American Forces Network).[6] On August 27, 1967, the AM station had to launch its news format (which was not full-fourth dimension until 1972) on WCBS-FM because a pocket-sized airplane had crashed into the AM radio tower a few hours before.[7]

In 1969, WCBS-FM launched a freeform rock format, which was condign increasingly popular, and all other CBS-owned FM stations followed conform. For the get-go time, WCBS-FM would accept an airstaff. Nib Dark-brown began his long tenure with the station, and Don Grand. Reed began his belatedly in 1971; both remained there until 2005. Radio personalities such as Bobby "Wizzard" Wayne, Tom Tyler, Ed Williams, Steve Clark, Roby Yonge, K.O. Bayley (Bob Elliott from WOR-FM), Les Turpin, Bob "Bob-A-Lew" Lewis too briefly joined the WCBS-FM "freeform" format. As well Bill Chocolate-brown and Don Grand. Reed, Wayne and Williams also stayed into the early part of the oldies format.

Original oldies years and greatest hits [edit]

WCBS-FM was never successful with their stone format, where it competed with stations such as WPLJ and WNEW-FM; these ii stations had well-nigh of the stone audience. Every bit a result, WCBS-FM switched to oldies on July 7, 1972, condign one of the first total-time stations in the country to employ that format.[8] The modify coincided with rival WOR-FM'south conclusion to drop pre-1964 oldies from its playlist a few months prior (equally they became WXLO). Johnny Michaels, formerly of WMCA, played the outset record,[9] Dion'southward "Runaround Sue". The entire staff from the rock format remained at the station.

At get-go, the station focused on rock-and-coil hits from 1955 to 1964 and mixed in some softer hits of the belatedly 1960s and early 1970s, likewise every bit a few and then-electric current songs. WCBS-FM also played a moderate number of adult standards from the rock era. The station played two current hits per hour known every bit "future gilt". Past the late 1970s however, the station dropped most of the developed standards, with a few exceptions, and added stone hits from the late 1960s. WCBS-FM's oldies format weathered many trends and corporate moves. By 1979, iii FM stations endemic by CBS had begun playing disco music. In the course of 1981, all of CBS'south FM stations, except for WCBS-FM and their FM station in San Francisco, adopted a CHR format known as "Hot Hits". The oldies format on WCBS-FM continued to be a success.

One ongoing feature was a countdown of the top 500 songs of all time, as voted by the station'south listeners. The countdown always took identify on Thanksgiving weekend (with a new survey taken every other year). On fifty-fifty years, up to 1990, the survey from the previous year was played. In the first Superlative 500, The Five Satins' doo wop archetype "In the Still of the Night" was #1 and "Globe Angel" by The Penguins was #2. "In the Still of the Night" remained at #1 every year subsequently that.[10] In 1992, WCBS-FM ran a Top 500 Countdown based on all their surveys from 1973 to 1991. They repeated 1993'southward Top 500 in 1994, conducting their terminal listener surveys in 1995 and 1996. Later on compiling an all-time survey based on past surveys in 1997, the station abandoned listener surveys, repeating the 1997 all-time survey on subsequent Thanksgiving weekends. For New Years weekend in 1999–2000, the station compiled and played a Top 1001 countdown based on original New York radio charts, with "Mack The Knife" past Bobby Darin at number i.[xi] This survey would be repeated on Thanksgiving weekend in 2002. In 2003, the station played a Top 500 Inaugural roofing the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and some 1950s songs, and in 2004 played a Pinnacle 500 Countdown with mostly songs from 1964 to 1979 with some pre-1964 songs and 1980s songs. When the station returned to a modified oldies and classic hits format in 2007, the station compiled a new listener-voted survey and played the results Labor Solar day weekend. This survey featured mostly songs from the 1960s and 1970s with a moderate selection of songs from the 1955–1963 time period. At that place was as well a moderate amount of 1980s music on the survey.

Joe McCoy took over as program director in 1981, and at that bespeak WCBS-FM began to gradually shift its focus to the 1964–1969 era, simply would besides feature more pre-1964 oldies than well-nigh other such stations of that decade. The station continued to also feature hits of the 1970s and some hits of the 1980s while cutting time to come gilt selections to one per 60 minutes. Also in the 1980s, later WABC and later on WNBC abandoned music in favor of talk, WCBS-FM began employing many disc jockeys who were widely known on other New York City stations (and sometimes nationally), nearly notably Musicradio 77 WABC alumni Ron Lundy, Dan Ingram, Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, and Harry Harrison, as well as former WMCA "Good Guys" Dan Daniel and Jack Spector. Bob Shannon, whose just previous New York Metropolis radio experience earlier coming to WCBS-FM was as a fill-in DJ at WYNY, became well-known himself through his 19-yr run equally the station'southward afternoon disk jockey. Bill Brown (who had started with the station in 1969, during their rock days) and Don K. Reed (who started at the station 6 months before the switch to oldies) remained with the station during their entire first period as an oldies station.

In 1989, WCBS-FM limited current music to late nights and overnights. While most oldies stations were playing songs from exclusively 1955 to 1973, WCBS-FM continued to play a moderate number of songs from the late 1970s equally well as about i 1980s hit per hour. Most of the 1980s music came from core oldies artists.

The station'southward ratings increased during the 1990s (and were sustained into the 2000s) and marketplace research studies showed a small and growing audience in the 35-to-49-year-old demographic as a new generation'south "songs they grew up with" moved into the oldies format. The station even hit number one overall in the ratings on at to the lowest degree several occasions during the 1990s. During this period, the station's on-air jingles were made by JAM Artistic Productions in Dallas. Such was the appeal of the packages of jingles that stations effectually the globe wanted that WCBS-FM sound for their stations, including for example the Uk's Radio Victory.[ citation needed ]

By 2000, as demographics for 1950s and early on 1960s oldies started to eclipse the target age groups that many advertisers covet,[12] WCBS-FM began cutting pre-1964 songs while adding more music from the 1970s and 1980s. In January 2001, they stopped playing currents and xc's hits on the overnight, dropping them altogether. The station also had cut specialty shows such equally Bobby Jay's Soul Of The City on Wednesdays, Thursday Night 60's, Friday nighttime's Heart & Soul of Stone & Roll, Monday Night 70's, and Bobby Jay'south late dark Saturday show Jukebox Sat Night. Eventually, they began to shorten the regular playlist and moved away from pre-1964 and toward 1970–1989 songs fifty-fifty more. In the summer of 2002, Don K. Reed'southward long-running Sunday night Doo-Wop Store program was cancelled. The station even began to de-emphasize the phrase 'oldies' in promotion of the station.[13]

The station canceled more specialty shows in 2003, such as the Meridian xx Oldies Countdown. In the summer of 2003, to appease some fans, they did add a specialty 1955–1964 oldies show called Heart & Soul of Rock & Coil with Norm North. Nite (who had been with WCBS off and on since 1973). Also in that twelvemonth, Harry Harrison and Dan Ingram both retired. In spring 2004, WCBS-FM narrowed the playlist fifty-fifty more. The station's playlist consisted of music well-nigh entirely from 1964 to 1979, dividing about equally betwixt the 1960s and 1970s, playing but a handful of pre-1964 oldies and songs from the 1980s. Joe McCoy left the station soon thereafter and was replaced by Dave Logan. WCBS-FM'south final morning show host of this period was ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz, who had appeal to this audition segment by virtue of 1970s reruns of his band'south eponymous television series and the mid-1980s Monkees revival. His last circulate on June 3, 2005 was a remote at a Manhattan restaurant to celebrate his 100th day at the station. However, by the cease of that day, the station would be changed dramatically.

101.ane Jack FM: Playing What We Desire [edit]

In the spring of 2005, Infinity Broadcasting, which was CBS' radio division during that fourth dimension, contracted with Sparknet Communications, which owns the licensing of an Adult Hits format branded every bit "Jack FM", a format that has seen on-air success in Canadian areas since the early 2000s. In render, Sparknet Communications gave Infinity Broadcasting permission to bring the "Jack FM" format to some of Infinity's radio markets in the United States. That April, Infinity flipped radio stations KCBS-FM in Los Angeles and WQSR in Baltimore to the "Jack FM" format. On Fri, June 3, 2005, Micky Dolenz, Mike Fitzgerald, and Randy Davis all signed off their shows expecting to exist back the post-obit Monday. However, Bill Chocolate-brown signed off at about 3:53 p.chiliad. maxim, "CBS-FM 101.1, Fontella Bass... Do you lot ever feel the urge to just kinda scream, "RESCUE ME!?"... I'm kickoff to go that feeling, here's Fontella Bass." The station segued to "Employ Me" by Pecker Withers. And then, at 4:00 p.m., the station played the usual station identification, and then a mix of Oldies and Greatest Hits referring to modify, including "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Get a Job", "Glory Days" and "Hit the Route Jack" (the last song of which had the discussion "Jack" edited out, giving an advance hint to the new format),[14] among others. Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind" was the last song played before the format change. At 4:30 p.chiliad., the station stunted with a 30-minute montage of lines from various movies and other sources.

Then, at 5:00 p.m., a pre-recorded station identification was played followed by a brusque introduction of the new adult hits format by new station voiceover Howard Cogan, and the annunciation of the new station proper name: "Welcome to the NEW "101.1 Jack FM", Playing What We Desire." The showtime song aired was Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right".[fifteen] The format featured nearly 2,000 unique songs in the playlist. With this move, WCBS-FM had left the oldies format after 33 years. In an effort to cater to fans of the old format, the station created an net-but oldies station on its website, and soon after, simulcasted the format on 101.1-HD2. Initially, the internet-merely station was DJ-less like Jack FM on the analog 101.ane and HD1 station; in between songs, the station played jingles plus pre-recorded voice overs washed by their product director. In a letter on the WCBS-FM website posted on June five, 2005, station VP Chad Chocolate-brown announced the webstream would try to bring back most of the original shows and DJs, and that eventually the station would also be able to be heard on Hd Radio. The alter left WBZO as the but FM station playing any type of oldies format in the market. Its bespeak in the Metropolitan surface area was weak, however, because information technology operated out of Long Island, and aired an outright oldies format, unlike WCBS-FM's former "Greatest Hits" format. On the AM punch, in that location were a few oldies stations receivable at dark, like Buffalo's WKBW at the time.[16]

Many criticized the alter of formats, amid them Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who, co-ordinate to the New York Postal service, responded to the modify past declaring he would "never listen to that fucking CBS radio always once again" (the quote was censored in the Postal service). "Jack" picked up on the mayor's comments, making jokes about his quip, "Hey, Mayor Bloomberg. I heard you took a shot at us in the Postal service. What's with all the swearin' like a sailor? Fleet Calendar week is over. It's just music." In an interview with the New York Daily News, Cousin Brucie likened the format switch to "replacing Yankee Stadium with a fruit stand". Cousin Brucie moved over to Sirius Satellite Radio'due south '60s on 6 channel to continue playing oldies. Recognizing the controversy of the sudden change, on June 14, 2005, the station announced that it would be unique among those with the Jack format in that it would occasionally include '50s and early '60s songs in its rotation every bit well as songs past performers like Frank Sinatra that are normally not role of the Jack format, though a later Web update retracted this, and songs from before the late '60s were no longer played.

In March 2006, Chad Brown hired Brian Thomas as plan director, replacing Steve Smith. Brown was replaced by Les Hollander later that year after a big layoff of personnel at CBS Radio. In 2007, Jennifer Donohue (from WWFS) was named as Jack's new general director. Afterwards that year, Maire Mason replaced Donohue.

Classic hits format [edit]

The "Jack" format experiment at WCBS-FM is widely regarded, within and outside the manufacture, as i of the greatest failures in modern New York radio history, as the station fell to the very bottom of the ratings of full-market-coverage FM stations in the New York marketplace. In early on July 2007, diverse websites quoted sources every bit saying the station was ready to shift from its current "Jack FM" format and render to its previous format. CBS Radio, owner of the station, declined to annotate on the rumors. Initial reports nigh the WCBS-FM format change initially surfaced on July 6, 2007, in the Radio Business Report online newsletter and at CrainsNewYorkBusiness.com.[ citation needed ] CBS Radio confirmed the rumors on July 9, 2007, that live announcers would indeed return to 101.1 and the HD1 channel on July 12, pregnant that the "Jack" format in New York had run its class afterwards two years, likely due to its lackluster ratings. The returning format would concentrate on music from 1964 to 1989, with selected older hits from 1955 through 1963. There would be a wider variety of hits, dissimilar the CBS-FM of 2005, which had a limited playlist from 1964 through 1979.

On July 12, at approximately 12:forty p.m., "Jack FM" ended with "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, ending in the same spot where the song abruptly ended during the series finale of The Sopranos. Then, after a few seconds of dead air and a few seconds of a "Wayback Automobile" audio special effect, the oldies format returned with the resumption of the concluding song played earlier the modify to Jack FM, Frank Sinatra'south "Summer Wind" (starting similar a phonograph record played very slowly but quickly accelerated to normal speed). This was followed by greetings from former WCBS-FM DJs Harry Harrison and Ron Lundy. Next were audio-clip montages of music, movies, boob tube shows, and events for each year from 1964 through 1979 followed by a single montage, like to the aforementioned, which paid homage to the entire decade of the 1980s, with WCBS-FM jingles interspersed betwixt. Former Mayor Ed Koch and then welcomed back the format, noting the "mistake" CBS Radio had fabricated with the switch. And so at exactly 1:01 p.thou., the legally mandated station identification played, and WCBS-FM's classic hits format officially returned with Do It Over again by the Embankment Boys.[17] This sequence is now repeated on-air every July 12. WOCL in Orlando used the same sequence (with the montage starting with 1966 and running clips for every twelvemonth through 1989) the following year, dropping alternative rock for classic hits, and later WJMK in Chicago likewise used the same sequence (with a few Chicago-themed modifications) on March 14, 2011 when they switched from Jack FM to a classic hits format.

Upon hearing of WCBS-FM'due south confirmation that oldies would return, Cousin Brucie commented, "I'one thousand thrilled that this music is getting a run a risk over again." He added, "This music has been treated terribly, and people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s are still a very viable product in this social club."[18] Mayor Bloomberg, who had criticized the Jack FM format after its debut, also welcomed oldies back with open artillery, proclaiming July 12, 2007, equally "WCBS-FM Returns to New York City Day".[nineteen] [xx] Arbitron's switch from diary to PPM facilitated a move back to oldies and archetype hits as sister station WOGL in Philadelphia had demonstrated ratings success in the new methodology by reaching the elevation five. WCBS-FM's return to archetype hits has also been a success, ranking it among the pinnacle five stations in every quarter of the new ratings for Arbitron, consistently either first or second in overall audience. In 2010, the station was number one among all stations in the New York region, 25-54 and 12+ (Arbitron PPM report, May 2010).[21] [22] The station went to number one once again in the July 2014 & August 2017 ratings periods.[23]

As of August 2009, WCBS-FM started carrying New York Giants football game on occasions when sister station WFAN could not carry the game. For the 2010 season, two Giants pre-season games and two regular flavour games were carried on WCBS-FM including the first game at the New Meadowlands Stadium against the New York Jets on August 16.

In the autumn of 2014, the station dropped the pre-1964 oldies birthday and also dropped many of the songs from the 1960s, cutting the number down to one to 2 per hr. In addition, the station broadened their format to include select hits from the 1990s, up to near 1999. On November 19, 2016, the "Saturday Night Cake Political party" was discontinued subsequently 4 years in favor of regular programming. On July nine, 2017, Backtrax USA, hosted by quondam WHTZ jock Kid Kelly, debuted on WCBS-FM on Sunday nights. Prior to 2016, WCBS-FM used JAM Creative Productions, Inc. for their jingles. Still, to focus on a new and changing demographic, they now use Reel World for their jingles. As of 2018, WCBS-FM no longer uses whatsoever JAM Jingles, and the station likewise no longer plays any music from the 1960s, while also starting to cut back on the corporeality of early 1970s music played. Gradually and subtly, WCBS-FM is increasing the frequency of 1980s and 1990s hits per day and is also calculation music from the 2000s.

On February 2, 2017, CBS agreed to merge CBS Radio with Entercom, currently the quaternary-largest radio broadcaster in the United States; the sale was conducted using a Contrary Morris Trust so that it would exist tax-complimentary. While CBS shareholders retain a 72% ownership stake in the combined company, Entercom is the surviving entity, separating WCBS radio (both 101.one FM and 880 AM) from WCBS-TV.[24] [25] The merger was approved on Nov ix, 2017, and was consummated on the 17th.[26] [27]

Point force [edit]

WCBS-FM broadcasts at 6,700 watts. WBEB, an adult gimmicky station in Philadelphia, also broadcasts on 101.1 MHz. WBEB'due south betoken reaches far north into New Jersey, especially along Interstate 287 due south of Morristown, and in Northwestern New Jersey. In those areas WBEB interferes with WCBS-FM, and in some spots, WBEB'due south signal actually seems stronger. This is considering WBEB broadcasts at 14,000 watts, although from a lower antenna meridian.

WCBS-FM's subcarrier also airs Spanish language Catholic programming for New York, New Bailiwick of jersey and Connecticut from Radio Maria Hispana, a local unit of Radio Maria The states.

Hd radio operations [edit]

A few hours after the modify dorsum from Jack FM, WCBS-FM's '60s and '70s music was brought back online on the stations website. CBS-FM's longtime music director Jeff Mazzei was retained as programme director of the wcbsfm.com oldies stream. Over the next couple of weeks, the station started playing pre-1964 oldies again. Additionally, the '60s and '70s oldies became broader and '80s and early '90s oldies were too mixed in, and the format got much deeper. Withal, information technology was commercial-free and had no airstaff. WCBS-FM HD2 also began broadcasting in HD Radio on December 12, 2005 (before about of the other New York stations, which launched in early 2006).

Air personalities did on-air auditions on the WCBS-FM HD2 oldies station on July 11, 2007, as a preview of the next day's changeover. The format then moved to the analog and HD1 channels. The HD2 station also simulcast the oldies format until 2:00 p.chiliad. that twenty-four hour period, at which fourth dimension Jack FM moved to HD2. At three:00 p.m. that day, Jack FM resumed streaming on their website.[ citation needed ] In Feb 2008, Howard Cogan was replaced by Pat St. John as the pre-recorded voice of the Jack character on WCBS-FM HD2 and ilikejack.com. On May vii, 2008, the Jack branding was dropped from WCBS-FM HD2 and was but called 101.1 HD2 or WCBS-FM HD2 due to the end of a licensing agreement with the owner of the Jack proper name and slogan, Sparknet Communications. During the vacation flavor in 2008, WCBS-FM's HD1 and analog signal played Christmas music, resulting in the oldies format beingness temporarily moved back to the HD2 channel. In belatedly June 2009, the HD2 aqueduct was rebranded again as ToNY, pregnant "to New York" simply pronounced as "Tony". The channel continued to feature an adult hits format until December 21, 2012, when it was dropped and replaced with a simulcast of WCBS.

On Oct 2, 2008, WCBS-FM HD3 was launched as a simulcast of WCBS.[28] On January ii, 2013, WCBS-FM HD3 flipped to CBS Sports Radio.[29] In February 2021, the HD3 sub-channel flipped to The True Oldies Aqueduct; CBS Sports Radio would subsequently move to WNSH's HD3 sub-channel.
