You'll Be B-Sides Yourself Tuesday

Written Sep. 25, 2007 by Sean Ross in Content + Terrestrial Radio with 0 Comments

One of the things I've appreciated the most about WCBS-FM New York since it returned this summer is the care that has gone into the station's daily "Hall of Fame" feature--used not only to stage special weekends but also a different series of themed "oh wow" songs every day.

The "Hall of Fame" has allowed WCBS-FM to do a "Country Crossover" day (hey, New Yorkers watched the one "American Idol" did, didn't they?), a number of pre-Beatles themed weekends, and, last week, "Turntable Tuesday" with songs played from vinyl. (PD Brian Thomas says a turntable was installed in the studio for the occasion.)

At this writing, the plan was for today's Hall of Fame to be "b-sides." Hear it here.
