Heard a liner today that said just that...."It's the beginning of the end...this weekend on Jack." Anybody know what that's all about?

Without actually knowing the true meaning of their intentions, I'm pretty certain it won't be that! LOL! ;D

How about Club 101.1 FM Playing the latest Dance CHR Music. (the probability of that is lower then even a country station at this point).

I can see CBSFM Returning with a classic hits format so there would not be anymore demo problems like there was with the regular oldies format.

Zzzzzzzz. Heavy burnout on the format. It sounds good for the first three days, then you get sick of hearing Scott all of the time.
My prediction:
1. 101.1, CBS FM - The Greatest Hits of the 60's, 70's, and 80's.
2. US 101.1 - New York's Country, Playing Everything Country - or -
New York's Country 101.1FM.
From the look of the three-month rolling averages for the Spring book released today, "Jack" should be thinking more about the flat future evident in all three books and the New York metro it is a part. Tickets for the latest "Pirates ... the End of the World" this weekend aren't going to be enough to bail it out, so to speak.
This boat is sinking, Jack...and certainly not setting sail in the direction it needs to go.
Get out the CBS-FM jingles and the Cowsills records...

and just in time for the anniversary of the death of CBS 101.

Jack, and every other station for that matter, doesn't care about the 12+ numbers. They care about how they do in their target demos, and from what I hear, they're continuing to trend upwards in their target demos. So Jack may have more life in him than you think.
Even if Jack plateaus (in its demos) at some point and CBS gets impatient, I think it's almost a guarantee we won't see oldies or country. Classic hits might come to 101.1, but not with any imaging that implies the 60s and the 70s. After all, CBS-FM in its later years pretty much was a cookie-cutter oldies station musically, except with legendary jocks. Nothing pre-1964 and they had added 80s into the mix periodically (including such ballads as Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You").
It's easy to romanticize about CBS-FM after the fact, though in the end, aside from the jocks (and lets not forget, some legendary ones were let go long before the station got "jacked"), programming wise it wasn't any less cookie-cutter than stations in any other format, unfortunately.

As long as JACK keeps doing decent 25-54 they probably won't change. Still, I disagree with the idea that oldies is in the toilet these days. Actually, oldies is one of the top rated formats in several markets. Most of the oldies stations have updated their music and play late 1960s-early 1980s, this had helped lower the demos. Many of these stations no longer call themselves oldies, they are now known as classic hits.
neo, you hit the nail on the head.
Plus I'd personally rather hear Jack than a cookie cutter oldies station that will sound nothing like it did in it's glory days.
Time to move on folks.

Exactly... REST IN PEACE. No need to go digging up the grave. Let the format rest peacefully. It was definitely not a graceful death, but one that should be respected. CBS-FM as oldies had it's time.
It's time to let go.
Besides, even if oldies CBS-FM came back, I highly doubt you'd have your same personalities. Then you all would moan and groan about it "not being the same CBS-FM" which would then just drive me personally nuts.
Just be happy you can at least listen to the music online and thru WCBS-HD2. I've listened to it and I like it. A really good variety of older songs on there.
