I just listened to the promo for this new sercive and it sounds like something nearly everyone on this board would enjoy listening to. I found it interesting when they said they plan on catering to the " Over 35 's who Have the money to go out and BUY what their advertisers are selling " They want to " Play " what their listening audience " Wants " to hear. They will have " Live remotes and appearances " " Contests ". Isn't this all starting to sound like something familiar that has been missing from many radio stations for too long. In recent years I have felt that someday things will have gone full circle and someone would get the idea to put these things we grew up with back on the radio. For me it is not too soon enough. And yes, the promo mentions " Air Personalities " too ! Sounds like a great ploace for you Bob Shannon.
Who knows, maybe the demise of WCBS-FM OLDIES 101.1 could in some way be ablessing in disguise for the Air Staff if they all get a better deal elsewhere, and "they" didn't break their contract to do that.
