Talk:WCBS-FM

message: I think it was wrong for Hammersoft to take down the CBS FM logo history  without discussion or Conscientiousness. They are  deleted now. I kind of understand his or her  reasoning .  Still i would have liked to  have an opportunity  to try to email the station to see if it was possible to get some kind of official approval to use them before they were taken down.

message: Regarding the annual survey: Dom (see History) insists that "Earth Angel" was number one one year early on, but cites no source. I've left it as is, but I'd appreciate a citation one way or another beyond the one I've already provided saying "In The Still Of The Night" was number one every time. (Granted, that cite may not be definitive. I'm not saying I'm sure my cite is right, just that I'd like to have more info.)
I've clarified in the article that while "Hey Jude" was number one, that was NOT a listener-voted survey. To further confuse matters, "Hey Jude" WAS voted number one by listeners on a survey on the newly revived station.
As long as I'm posting, I'll say that I wouldn't mind seeing more detail about special programming and such from the heyday.

message: The desperate /despondent can tune into 740 AM at night.  This Toronto, Ontario, Canada station plays nice oldies, but sans the 70s, 80s rock 'n roll. Check it out. Dogru144 03:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Good riddance, jack.
WCBS-FM in its oldies format was a favorite of everyone.  It appealed to tastes of people young and old, black and white.  We can't wait for the station's return to classic pop and real, human announcers, instead of "jack's" human-less automated format. Dogru144 13:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: We hate "jack" / On the welcome return to [[oldies]]

message: This article is pretty long and sloppy. Of course, there will be a ton of activity here in the next few days or so since the station just changed its format. Not sure exactly what else can be added. If anything, perhaps the people who just have to add something to this article could help by doing a little cleanup, particularly toward the end (Jack, return to oldies, etc.). I cleaned up the lead paragraphs, since someone had put an advertising tag on it. I hope it meets with everyone's approval.--Fightingirish 19:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I got bold and rewrote all the stuff prior to Jack (which I'll practically need a weed whacker for). I eliminated much of the repetitive and unnecessary stuff, paring it down considerably (I realize the length of this article was not sitting well with many people). Hopefully, this will cover everything relevant to the station and also be a better quality read. As for the Jack section, as I've been saying, this looks terrible. It does not need all of this 'information' (and much of it is POV with tons of weasel words and irrelevant information). I realize that with all of the changes CBS-FM's been through during the past two years, everybody feels they're justified in adding their own piles of crap to the article, but it does a major disservice to the article in general. This could all be said with much fewer words, and be much more effective.--Fightingirish 07:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Oh my! What a mess!

message: The section on the change to Jack format alleges Wikipedia spam, but there are NO external links in that section at all.   How did that happen?

replies: text: There's way too much irrelevant information that, for some reason, people see the need to clutter this article up with. I tried to clean it up, and got it down to what I thought was a straight-to-the-point approach. Unfortunately, people just added all the crap back in. This article in its current state absolutely sucks, and I think the appropriate punishment for all the people who have stuffed it with so much irrelevant garbage is to be forced to actually read this thing. --Fightingirish 05:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: The on-air lineup is directory-type stuff. However, it could be put in paragraph form. The on-air roster is unnecessary, since that type of stuff can easily be found on the station's website. Why repeat information, especially when it just leads to clutter on the article page?--Fightingirish 14:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Um, what spam? 

message: It is wrong to call New York's 101.1 WCBS-FM's HD2 "WCBS-HD2" Since WCBS is a AM station at at 880 and calling it WCBS-HD2 makes it sound like the HD2 belongs to WCBS 880 and not WCBS-FM 101.1. It I thik it should be called WCBS-FM-HD2 as Jack FM Identifies it’s self at the top of every hour.
