Christmas Is Over: CBS FM Back Up
- Thread starter lalumia
- Start date
I think someone should rub the ratings in the faces of the jackasses behind the hijacking of June 3, 2005. Kudos to Brian Thomas and everyone else for a successful radio station. No radio station can please all of its listeners all of the time. I am disappointed that 1955-63 hits are rarely played, but I can't all my favorite music on one radio station.

Many stations have trended upward post-Christmas as listeners once again face reality. WCBS-AM and WINS have no doubt been helped by the severe winter weather. Lite-FM may be down and CBS-FM up post-Christmas, but Lite still has a substantial lead. 
I love Wcbsfm and everyone there!! Brian and Lenny do a Awesome job!!! They are so Good now, It hard to win a contest to get thru the phones. I have one complaint, I hate the recording they have. I rather it go busy. Congrats to WCBSFM Ratings, I know they want young people, but I will be around till the very end!!!

And this to me, IMO, is a little bit of the sobering reality for CBSFM. Being 4th in your key demo behind 2 younger leaning stations should say something, I don't care if it's inches or yards 4th is 4th. And if you look younger not even top 10. Certainly doesn't take away from being a solid performer but you can't help but think who's really listening and what the longer term strategy is.
Perhaps adding back the older tunes isn't a bad idea, the younger crowd's not listening anyway.
I hope CBS-FM will still keep going to reach the top. "Lite-FM" is on top still after all of the Christmas madness has been going on every year. CBS-FM will go to #1 if the next PPM's come out. And speaking of CBS-FM, there is a new oldies station which is now going to be on the air the Hudson Valley area which has got nothing to do with New York radio. It's the new 98.9 WGNY-FM in Rosendale which now carries an oldies format like CBS-FM with a steady diet of 50's music in the mix. WGNY-FM is the new station that calls it "Fox Oldies". I hope Sunrise will say congrats to the newest Oldies/Greatest Hits station in the Hudson Valley after a 4-year absence with the former "Cool 92.9" which was WBPM right before it flipped to a classic hits/rock format.
Like CBS-FM, WGNY-FM will be playing the same thing like the way CBS-FM did since it came back in 2007 after that mess came from "Jack". No 80's on that station. For more 80's stuff, try "Mix 97.7" or the other "Lite-FM" at 92.1. I hope 98.9 is doing a great job put together an oldies/greatest hits back to the HV listening area since it went on the air last week.
WBPM had terrible ratings in the last 4 years when it is "Your Classic Hits Station", and it's not going to be "Classic Hits" anymore, it is now a classic rock format competiting with WPDH, another well-known classic rock station the Hudson Valley. I guess Robinson & Shannon are the two morning team are not the best morning show to begin with. I'm not going to explain about it. WBPM is now a competitor to WPDH.
Enough with the WBPM thing for now. I guess that this WBPM is still going to sound a lot like "Q104.3" and WRXP. WGNY-FM, the new oldies at 98.9 is going to sound a lot like CBS-FM from many years ago as a oldies station during the Joe McCoy era. CBS-FM still playing 60's through 80's stuff along with a few 50's songs thrown in.
I'm not going to explain it, WBPM and WGNY-FM are both had nothing to do with New York radio. They're in the HV listening area. Nuff said!

Young kids do listen to oldies. When I listen to Cousin Brucie on Saturday nights he gets phone calls from kinds as young as 6 years old. Much of the musics from the 50s and 60s are timeless.

I remember when my 16 year old first started listening to music. At first he was an Elvis fan and then The Beatles. If you look at Radio Disney, they play songs like "I Got You" by James Brown. It was the teenage years when my son started listening to new music, but he still likes the classics.
