Re: [Swprograms] WCBS-FM drops oldies for "Jack" format

["Daniel Barriball" <dbarriba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The exact same format change occurred at the same time at WJMK 104.3 FM in 
Chicago.  Oldies listeners are now directed to go to www.wjmk.com to listen 
to the old format.  I know a lot of people in the Chicago area are ticked 
off.
