Bob Dayton, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | 1978
It’s been a while since we posted a new WCBS-FM aircheck, and we think this one will delight longtime fans of the ‘Golden 101’! This goes back to 1978. Bob Dayton (WABC, KBLA) sounds warm and personable, and CBS-FM is playing all the great songs from the 50s, 60s and early 70s. This is the…
Return of a Legend: Scott Shannon’s First Show; 101.1 WCBS-FM New York, Part 2 | March 3, 2014
Continuing where Part 1 left off, Scott Shannon is given a huge welcome as the new host of the WCBS-FM Morning show! WCBS-FM has come a long way from the days when “Jack” put an end to the Oldies of the 50s and 60s, and what wasn’t even mentioned on this first day (why would…
Return of a Legend: Scott Shannon’s First Show; 101.1 WCBS-FM New York, Part 1 | March 3, 2014
Starting out much the way WHTZ “Z-100” did in 1983, legendary programmer, jock and superb morning host Scott Shannon returns to wake New Yorkers after a one week break following his ‘retirement’ from 23 years in Mornings at WPLJ. What a welcome Shannon gets! CBS-FM re-did it’s imaging, new JAM jingles to recreate the early…
Steve O’Brien, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | October, 1999
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s a high-quality aircheck of our good friend Steve O’Brien, apparently recorded right after the New York Yankees won the World Series of Baseball. The century is winding down, its a balmy day (near 70 degrees) in the Big Apple, and WCBS-FM is still New York’s OLDIES station, playing the…
Bill Brown, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | December 22, 1988
Bill Brown began his tenure at the Golden 101 in 1969 and stayed with CBS-FM for 36 years! He was displaced in 2005, when the station ditched Oldies for the failed “Jack-FM” Variety Hits format which lasted just under two years. Brown only goes by his first name, Bill. His is a warm personality, with…
Dick Bartley, “Saturday Night Classic Countdown”; 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | February 13, 2011
Contributor Scott Lowe gave us this perfect recording of Dick Bartley’s “Classic Countdown” on CBS-FM. One of the really cool features of this is the fact that Bartley did this show for CBS-FM, and it’s not some syndicated show that he did generically. But, Dick Bartley is… himself. He comes across professional, if not just…
Marc Somers, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | December 22, 1988
Mark Somers sits in for the vacationing Ron Lundy a couple of days before Christmas, 1988. The “Golden 101” is in it’s prime, playing the hits from the late 50s right up into the 1980s, although the 80s cuts are not rotated in as frequently as the 60s/70s material. CBS-FM has a wide playlist at…
Composite: WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | 2003
Its been said that WCBS-FM began to lose its music focus in the few years leading up to the station’s inevitable demise (was it really inevitable? CBS brass thought so). Even if that’s a true statement, the talent was always right on the mark! Here’s a glimpse of our favorite Oldies station with it’s core…
