Montage leading to "new" CBS-FM

chuckydoll said:
The best format transition I've ever heard was on 1050 AM on July 1, 1987. Around 2:56 the DJ on country station WHN cued the last song, "For the Good Times" by Ray Price. At 2:59:50 you heard a WHN legal ID jingle, 5 seconds dead air, then a play-by-play soundbite and a legal ID for SportsRadio 1050, WFAN, New York. "All sports ... all the time."

Anyone remember how WYNY faded out before it segued into simulcasting its sister stations across the country for a full week?

I think it sounds great. Perfect solution for both PPM measurement and for lowering the demo core.

So, if you want to ignore this, go for it! ;D

BTW David Eduardo- first clip on the montage was Sinatra with Summer wind...would you like the humble pie for here or to go????

The montage is not the format. In fact, as most guessed, the format is very similar to WOGL, and obviously aimed at doing the same kind of PPM job that 'OGL is doing in Philly.

Yeah. You're a Genius.
 
The "Summer Wind" in the Montage Was a kinda a Picking up where they left off thing, the effect was nice like someone plugged in a Record Player Still on with the needle still on the record

Oh BTW coisidence or not? Bruce "Glory Days" was 4 songs from the End of CBS FM in 05 and the 4th Song Played after CBS restarted.

Rushed and cluttered. 101.1 should have stayed in the Jack format until 1:01:00, then into the legal ID jingle and the new format.

My favorite transition was from 66 WNBC on October 7, 1988 when Alan Colmes said "This is 66....WNBC....New York.", followed by a countdown and the ringing of the NBC Chimes to signal the end of WNBC Radio.

Damn, that brought back memories! Didn't they simulcast 97.1 WASH Washington one day?

Hate to be the one to be some one else to it, but here is a link that will give you an audio feed of the montage/countdown (Note: Requires Quicktime)

Hope you enjoy all the great music!
 
How about that incredible parody of "We Didn't Start The Fire" called "CBS FM Is Back Now".

Bill Lee played it around 345 today, it was incredible. If anyone has a good copy of that, please post. I hope they run it again over the weekend.
