WCBS-FM To Return

As most of you in the New York Metropolitan area surely know by now, the legendary WCBS-FM oldies format is returning to the airwaves as of 1:01 p.m. on Thursday, July 12, after a two-year hiatus as a Jack format station.

This is great news, because the music we grew up with will be back on the airwaves.

WCBS-FM played only one Colgems artist--you guessed it, The Monkees--and Micky Dolenz was one of their last disk jockeys before the Jack switch. I don't think they will play any other Colgems artists, although when WABC-AM was a music station, it did put the Lewis and Clarke Expedition in its playlist briefly.

It's good to have an old friend back, and if everything goes as planned, the oldies will come back to stay this time.
