congrats to cbs-fm…a great worst to first story

OK, I haven’t talked radio on here in a while but if you have worked in or around radio (as most voice talent, marketing and/or advertising folks have) you know some of America’s top radio stations. You’ve heard of their amazing falls from grace and some who just keep winning.

WCBS-FM, know forever as CBS-FM was a true oldies station, employing most of New York’s city’s most famous radio jocks for a long time. Well, until 2005.

It was then that some dunder-head thought they should change CBS-FM from Oldies to the Jack-FM format. The station tanked to #22 in the market.

Then, they fired the dunder-head and brought in someone else and he brought 101.1 FM back as CBS-FM in 2007 and this week, they ranked #1 overall in NYC.

That is a tough market so kudos and congrats to everyone at CBS-FM.

  1. a very tough market indeed, and i have to say that not all come-backs are successful! WCBS truly is a legend.
