How appropriate that during this second weekend of July, we hear that CBS may (most likely) return Oldies to 101.1 in New York City. Time now to look back TEN years ago to what was the 25th anniversary of WCBS-FM as an Oldies station.

All day, WCBS-FM brought back the old jingles and even played airchecks of the station over the years since 1972. This particular aircheck is of the last hour of Bob Shannon’s show, which ended early so that WCBS-FM could air a special retrospective.

Heard throughout the aircheck, plenty of weather as severe storms were moving through Queens and Brooklyn, having caused considerable damage as the northern end of the line moved through Connecticut. Also features a full newscast.

Our thanks to Frank Bruno for providing this fantastic aircheck!
