I just wanted to say that the people of New York have the right to feel both proud and sad about losing their Oldies station WCBS last year. I am from Cleveland and worked as Norm N. Nites engineer from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame every Sunday evening during his "Heart of Rock and Roll" radio show. I can feel the hurt that the people of New York went thru during the lost of live programming. It not only effected a number of jocks, program directors, and others involved in New York, but a hand full of us here in Cleveland as well. The jocks that once graced over the airwaves in New York at WCBS 101.1 FM were your friends, they made us laugh, they took your calls, they listened to the listeners, and taught us so much about the history of the songs they were playing, what a bunch of legends that passed thru the doors of WCBS over the past 30 years. Working with a guy such as Norm N. Nite over the past two years before the switch was just awesome, it was the best board op job anyone could ever ask for, especially from the Alan Freed studios at the Rock Hall every Sunday Night. Norm taught me so much about every song, what was on the "B" side, who was in that certain group, when a certain person died, and what label that artist appeared on. Alot of our visitors came in from New York just to sit in on Norm's show, and it was a thrill just talking to them about New York. It was always a thrill when Sunday evening came around and now we all miss working for the old WCBS dearly. Anyway, we could only wish we had a great oldies stations to be proud of here in Cleveland with the great personalities that WCBS once had. I just wanted to tell the radio people of New York that I will never forget the great times I had being able to say "I engineered a great radio show with Norm Nite and it was heard all over New York right from the Rock Hall here in Cleveland", many thanks for the wonderful memories and may you all "Rock On" forever... P.S. My car is still proud to display both the old and new style WCBS bumper stickers here in Cleveland!!! A old WCBS Radio Friend "FREE AS THE AIR"
