I think part of it is probably also the fact that many of the DJ's recognize that they have a great opportunity here. Keep in mind, people like Dan Taylor, Bob Shannon, and Broadway Bill Lee were for the most part off air in New York City when WCBS-FM changed back to the "Greatest Hits" format.
WCBS-FM is an outlet for the DJs as much as it as an outlet for the music. I am guessing that there is little to no competition among the DJ's, because I think all of them are thrilled to be there in the first place. I suppose this could eventually change once the novelty of CBS-FM wears off, but I think that it is something that is going to last for a long while. As long as things keep going in the right direction (and there's no reason to think this will not happen), I think that the spirit you see among the DJ's will remain.
