Here’s the old 101.1 Jack FM website that someone obviously forgot to take down after the transition.

The music on Jack FM isn’t that bad…I listen online and am still impressed at how much of their playlist mirrors my own tastes. I loved the old CBS-FM too, but a lot of people forget that they dropped their 50s music long before the days of Jack, and now some of them are complaining that there’s no 50s music on the new reconstituted CBS-FM. To those talking about the death of Jack…Jack’s not dead at all…just moved to their HD channel and is completely accessible on the Internet. The format is alive and thriving in many other markets, many of the stations have personalities too, but Jack is, and always was, about the music. There’s room for both stations, and in New York…they figured out how to accomplish that.

There’s this old saying that for every action there’s a REaction. Well, from what I understand, the public outcry and outrage of New Yorkers caused the ratings for Jack FM to plummet!! I know know how they do it but they’ve done it and now WCBS FM is BACK!!! I’m not a New Yorker and I was late about the news but I’m GLAD that CBS FM is back!!! I’m crying tears of joy just writting this!! Now if only WJMK in Chicago switches back to the olides format once again, then I’LL be happy!!

Welcome Back wcbs 101.1
You have been missed.
I have been a fan since the 70′s.
When you left the airwaves, I left too.
Now your back…….me too!
Now bring back the 50′s and I will really be happy.

I couldn`t be happier.I`ve been a fan since the 70`s when I lived in Flatbush,Brooklyn.I moved to Florida & couldn`t get you.Came here to Georgia & finally found you guys on the net.I feel like I`ve been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.Being from Brooklyn,I`m used to the original “Doo Wop” music.Where can I replace my 20 plus year Tee Shirt from CBS-FM.Mr Jeff Mazzei helped me replace my ol` CBS coffee mug.I`d like to buy a new CBS-FM Tee Shirt.Hope you can help me.Welcome back,not just here but now all over the world.If we could make it to the moon,I knew we`d here CBS-FM again.Everyone that I`ve turned onto CBS thinks you`re the best oldies station out there.Thanks guys & STAY PUT this time.CIAO

The Poem has said much
with all things that became such,

But in a way it seemed so astray
though we all prayed, we new,

that CBS FM would come
home one day.

Awesome transition. Was it a coincidence that Jack FM played “Don’t dream it’s over” as their last song (and is there any reason that song shouldn’t be played on the “new” WCBS)?

Now we just need the real WNEW to be resurrected. I think 102.7 has undergone about 47 format changes since dropping the classic AOR format.
