[BC] Terrestrial Radio fights back

[Dana Puopolo]

If you combine the ratings of the three CBS FM stations in NYC (92.3 Free FM,
Jack 101.1, and MIX 102.7) I think they together barely make the ratings that
CBS-FM had as oldies by themsleves...

Which *reallllly* makes you wonder why they ever pulled the plug on the 
format! Like the Joke format on WCBS FM. What *were* they thinking?
Apparently, 
they weren't. Pull successful formats, and replace them with something that's

doing far poorer in the ratings? Yep, that's a *real* NO-brainer. 

Of course, WCBS had some high-quality talent, and (hopefully) was paying them

what they were worth. Now they don't have that problem. They certainly don't 
have to pay an iPod on "shuffle". Also, didn't I just read that they've 
jettisoned a whole slew of their staff? Bleah.
