I don't think there should be anymore 'CBS rallies

T

This is just my opinion. Of course I CAN'T say that on the other board or people would kill me! But the talk over there is about planning another oldies rally in front of the WCBS studios.

IMHO, while I do think an initial rally was needed so that people could express their outrage on Infinity for flipping a station the way they did and at the same time show support for the music they love, doing another one somehow "loses the message". WCBS isn't going to change back and to continually protest about it won't do a thing. When Hot 97 went to hip-hop, we did make our initial gripe but once we did that (even though we didn't rally in front of their studios) we just moved on into getting another radio corporation to consider bringing dance music radio back to New York.

Having said that last comment, what I think oldies fans SHOULD do is to start writing to the other broadcast corporations such as Clear Channel, Emmis, ABC, etc. to convince executives that there still is a huge interest for the oldies format in New York and that some station should give it a try. They should KEEP the united front going and not let it fade out UNTIL an oldies station returns.

And with that...leave CBS and "Jack" alone.

Once again, just an opinion.
