CBS-FM dumps the format

[Roger Kolakowski]

And this just 5 days after Harry Harrison thanked WCBS for allowing him to 
be interviewed live on WABC's traditional Memorial Day WABC Rewound 
mode....I wonder where he will go now? Maybe WABC will get the reverb unit 
out of the closet and go "rewound" for the summer beach season? Ahh the 
smell of Coppertone...
