WCBS-FM’s Radio Greats Weekend: Al Bandiero | November 4, 2007
WCBS-FM is back and better than ever, with Radio Greats Weekends featuring some of the greatest personalities who ever graced the airwaves of Gotham city. One of the reasons I post this is because Al Bandiero was the one jock who influenced me to get into radio all those years ago after hearing him on WKBW Buffalo. Another is that this has to be one of the best sounding airchecks we’ve posted of CBS-FM, from an audio quality standpoint.
For those of you who know Al Bandiero’s style from his days at 99 X, Hot 97 and even KTU, you’ll find his style remains true, the music mostly spans his best years from the 70s (WKBW, WIFI) and 80s, and the format is ALL CBS-FM! It’s the best of both worlds in a 3 hour show compressed down to 43 minutes scoped.




Very good presentation. Banderio sounds great and song selection makes CBS-FM a cooking station.
Does anyone know how CBS plays their music, is it off computer? I assume so, but in video I’ve seen of the studio, there dosen’t appear to be any monitors. Also interesting to here a couple of dead segues from jingles into song intros.
