I've stated what I would like to see WCBS-FM return to before, but I'll state them again for Bob's post:
1) Infinity should publically admit that switching to Jack was a major mistake and bring back oldies to WCBS-FM, thus saving some face.
2) Expand the song list to include a lot of 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. It even wouldn't hurt to include some hits from the 40's, after all, the Andrew Sister had just as many hits as Elvis or the Beatles.
3) Hire back as many of the Classic DJ's who are available and willing to come back, and give them more freedom to program their own shows and allow them to play what THEY want. I know I'm in the minority here, but I'd like to see Micky Dolenz return. His show was actually gaining ground in the ratings prior to the switch to Jack, and his show was a more family friendly alternative to Stern.
4) Infinity should actually LISTEN to their audience rather than arrogantly dismiss them. Seriously considering suggestions from the listeners would generate good public relations. The failure of Jack is a perfect illustration what happens when you insult and cheese-off your listeners.
My two cents.
