New York's Oldies Station Just Got JACKed!

This leaves Ney York with AM oldies stations in the NJ suburbs like WMTR, WNNJ, WRNJ, and those in nearby Connecticut & Long Island. Not quite as displaced as the NYC country audience. CBS-FM was one of the oldest continuous oldies stations, since the early '70s'.
Would they do that in Philadelphia right now considering that OGL did well in the last book and there is already Ben here which is unproven until the next ratings?
IF it were to happen, I would guess WPEN might pick up the long running shows like Harvey Holiday, Bob Pantano & Ron Cade (would they have to sell their own time?) and MAYBE drop some infomercials to try to get some of the OGL audience so Jack wouldn't beat their Ben.

Personally, I do not see WOGL going away anytime soon.

WNBC's 11:00 news tonight had a story on the flip from a doo-wop show in Brooklyn; one member of the audience said "Now we have to listen to WPEN...from PHILADELPHIA!" He sounded insulted by the very thought, but at least somebody's listening.

Well, that should DOUBLE their cume, shouldn't it?

> Personally, I do not see WOGL going away anytime soon.
I realize that WOGL is safe for now, being there is already a "Jack" clone in the market.
But if I were you, I'd keep a close eye on it... If Infinity could take oldies down in two of the top three markets in a single day, it could happen here next. With that, I don't know... I tell you what would be a funny stunt, though... The day before it flips to whatever format, it can play clips from sister station WPHT's Glenn Beck show, and call it "Glenn-FM - Talking About What He Wants"... Yes, radio could have ideas that scary...<P ID="signature">______________

They did so in another town in the midwest simultaneously.
I'll bet 65% of WCBS listeners don't even have a computer. Ironic shame that Oldies 101 WCBS is now webcast-only.
And I thought 102.7 was already a "variety" station playing the same (repeated albeit "various") tunes in NY so where does Jack fit in?
