I miss this era of WCBS. The station sounded so big. When I listen, at 4am as I am driving in to host my morning show, all the news is pre-recorded from the evening before. Sad.

I miss all the old radio Sounders and tones the networks had, before they cut them out, or changed them and "hip-hopped" them for the modern generations. If only I could go back to the mid 70's again.

WCBS News radio 880 since it became an all news radio station, the birthplace of Cabot, Harley Carnes, and including Tom Kaminsky, in the helicopter of chopper 880, and the Osgood Files on the Westwood One Radio network via WCBS-880AM every :44 minutes past the hour every weekday morning.

CJAD 800 AM Montreal, Canada used these jingles for years

[@rickydarlington2078]

i remember every 15 minutes they would play those tones that were really cool i knew the time like clockwork i wish i could hear those tones again

[@DonDonP1]

Now that is one kickbutt news music package.

[@mfertig]

12:23 is one of the most familiar ones

[@nedwart]

8:45 the best one imo

[@mixon270]

4:27 is a nice jingle

[@Obladgolated]

Theme at 3:52 contains a "Copacabana" idiom.

[@mixon270]

it sure does

[@ScoopNemeth]

better yet, a news helicopter hovering over the Copacabana for a live shot

[@Obladgolated]

Motif at 8:48 is reminiscent of "Killer Joe."

[@jamescombs8316]

Radio 85, KOA......................Denver!

[@Quackidee18]

6:44 sounds like the Love Boat

[@henrystowe6217]

When did WCBS do these? I left the tri state in 86. Don't remember these? They sound pretty cool for 80s.

[@willgie]

Sadly missing the old Cbs news intro jingle here

[@robjackson5245]

Some black man wrote this African Episcopal church choir brass shit. Cause it's gangsta

[@kargaroc386]

At least radio jingles are given a bit more respect than television jingles...

[@Jerseysson27]

Does wcbs 880 have a election jingle?

[@CWC880]

I think the 6:40 bit could be good for a Community Calendar segment.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Those God awful Dallas jingle singers.

[@robjackson5245]

The music still sucks cause they took black music and made it whiteized de-emphaiszing the trumpet and somewhat whitenizing it to fit with the violins. This is some The WB/Tribune/CBS "Friends"-loving unpopular shit.
