Oldies back on WCBS-FM

I'm not sure why it pleases me that WCBS-FM in New York is switching back to oldies, but it does. I've written about New York radio before, and I remember CBS-FM as an oldies station when I lived in the area. I was too young to be interested in oldies, but I remember their TV commercials. I even remember Howard Stern making fun of them back in the mid-80's. So, maybe it's a nostalgic thing. As I get older, it's kind of cool to see something like CBS-FM make a return to oldies.

WCBS at some point switched to Jack-FM when that fad was sweeping through the country. I've heard the brand on other stations before, and I've just never really understood the appeal after listening for any length of time. I guess New Yorkers didn't get it either. WCBS's GM thanked the oldies fans for being true believers while the format was gone.

Maybe that's what pleases me. Is it OK if just for a moment I believe that a huge company like CBS radio actually responded to the demands of listeners? I mean, I know in my head that that's not the case. But, maybe this is a sign of things to come as radio tries to stay relevant and responsive to the public.
