I knew it :) I am Happy for them!! I always will be. :) I hear they are tied with Lite, they are playing all Christmas music now, will people like that more? Not me, a little at a time is ok. Congrats WCBSFM your #1 to me anyway, your music, your staff :) Thanks Happy Holidays
 
This once again proves, that if a station plays "music", then it will do well. Great stations will play what the listeners want to hear and much, much more. Since WCBS does that with it's huge music library (the staples plus the hundreds upon hundreds of other hits) and it's beautiful and memorable specialties, it deserves to be #1.

People don't want just 400 songs to hear, they want it all.

Great job CBS-FM and it's wonderful staff.

Merry Christmas!

Click to expand...

Classic hits stations across the country use base libraries of around 800 songs, and pretty much confine themselves to those in hours when there is any useful listenership.

Without taking and of the much deserved credit away from the job CBS FM does, the concept came out of the PPM tests in Philadelphia in the 2002-2004 time period where WOGL started to do very well with a more 70's based blend... a message not lost on the CBS radio programming folks.

CBS has had a great deal of succcess from the start with PPM, due in no small part to their willingness to adapt stations and formats to a new reality.
 
Yes. The 70s are the core with some spillover into the late 60s and early 80s. CBS-FM would not be nearly as successful had they come back the way they sounded Pre-Jack. Congats!!
 
I sense that WCBS-FM is playing more 80s music and less from the 60s. Somebody could go to yes.com and verify this. In any event, this strategy seems to be working. Lite-FM will move up in December by playing Chrisstmas music.
