History[edit]Start as WIBG- FM[edit]In Philadelphia, FM frequency 9. WIBG- FM, the sister station of WIBG, and mostly simulcast the AM top- 4. In 1. 96. 8, owner Storer Broadcasting shut the station down while attempting to get permission for an increase in transmission power. WIBG- FM was a restricted class B station at the time, limited in range to avoid interfering with WKOK- FM in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.

During 1. 96. 9, the call letters were officially changed to WPNA when Storer sold WIBG (AM). The station remained silent and the call sign would be changed again before it returned to the air. Sold to SJR Communications[edit]Having been unsuccessful in getting the Sunbury station to agree to an FCC waiver, Storer sold WPNA to SJR Communications. SJR stood for "San Juan Racing", referring to the company's lone US holding: a racing track in San Juan.) SJR changed the call letters to WYSP ("Your Station in Philadelphia"), and quickly made a deal with the Sunbury station that allowed WYSP to increase its power.

The station became a full class B, with a non- directional 5. ERP). On August 2. WYSP went on the air.

The format consisted of live announcers playing big- band and easy listening music from half- hour- long reel- to- reel tapes that were produced in- house. The WYSP studios were located in the Suburban Station Building at 1. JFK Parkway in Philadelphia. A new RCA transmitter and circular polarized five- bay Gates antenna was installed at the transmitter site. Album- oriented rock format[edit]At 6 AM on Monday, August 6, 1. WYSP abruptly stopped playing big- band music and started playing album- oriented rock (AOR).

The entire announcing staff was fired (despite attempts to unionize), and five new announcers were hired, including Tom Straw and Dean Clark. The music included popular cuts from albums by artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Chicago, and Crosby Stills and Nash. Radio consultant Kent Burkhart was called in; he pulled Dick Findley from WEBN in Cincinnati to be the Program Director, Music Director, handle the promotions, and do middays. With promotional help from artists like Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, and Charlie Daniels, the station took off. After a series of concerts in the park, high school hops and public involvement, the station beat the competition at WMMR by more than 2 to 1 in the ratings. It was at that point in 1.

Lee Abrams replaced Findley with "The Fox & Leonard Morning Show" (Sonny Fox & Bob Leonard), the first two- man morning show on AOR radio. In 1. 97. 4, WYSP became Philadelphia's "quad" station, piping its audio through a Sony Quad encoder, which provided "ambience" effects to the rear channels of the handful of quad radios in the market. Due to a compatibility problem with regular mono radios, and a lack of interest from the listening public, the quad encoder was quietly dismantled in 1. In 1. 97. 7, the station moved its transmitter to its current location at the Philadelphia master antenna farm in Roxborough.

In June 1. 97. 9, Program Director Steve Sutton was hired to put a failing YSP back on the map. Assembling a line- up of Jerry Abear, Sean Mc. Kay and Bill Fantini (6- 1. Denny Somach (1. 0a- 2p), Randy Kotz (2- 6p), Gary Bridges (6- 1. Cyndy Drue (1. 0p- 2a) and Trip Reeb (2- 6a), the station broke artists like Tom Petty in Philadelphia. Sutton hired popular Eagles linebacker Frank Le.

Master for mornings during football season. The station was loud, up and cutting edge. Production—outrageous spots and promos—from Jay Gilbert and later, R. D. Steele, made WYSP unique. The station was hugely creative; it generated the syndicated shows found on album rock stations around the country. NBC recognized this, and pursued WYSP as its flagship affiliate for its new "Source" network. WYSP soon tied WMMR as #1 in the coveted 1.

In 1. 98. 1, Steve Sutton accepted an offer from old friend and WMMR PD Charlie Kendall to cross the street and become the MMR morning host, "Steveski."Classic rock format[edit]WYSP became the nation's very first "classic rock" station in the fall of 1. Frank X. Feller (then General Manager) received a suggestion and a reel- to- reel tape with a sample of what the "Classic Rock" format would sound like from account executive Jim Sacony.[4] The featured artists on the reel to reel were the Yardbirds, The Zombies, Young Rascals, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Steppenwolf and The Byrds. Feller then directed Program Director and midday jock Dick Hungate to team up with station consultant Lee Abrams to more effectively compete with two traditionally- programmed and very entrenched competitors - WMMR and WIOQ. The actual on- air describer "classic rock" was thought of in a strategy session at WYSP's then One Bala Plaza offices, in which other adjectives such as "timeless" and "vintage" also were discussed by Hungate and Abrams. In this pre- PC age, it fell upon Hungate to create the universe of all old- rock tracks based upon his previous Philly experience as MD of WMMR in 1.

Bella joined the station. WYSP returned to classic rock once again a few years later, but ultimately switched back to a current, hard- rock format once and for all. Purchase by Infinity Broadcasting/CBS[edit]WYSP was ultimately purchased by Infinity Broadcasting. Infinity merged with CBS in 1. CBS already owned WMMR, and the Infinity merger left CBS one station over the Federal Communications Commission's ownership limit of the time.

WMMR was sold to Greater Media. Watch Arthur 2: On The Rocks Streaming. This left empty space at the KYW- AM- TV studios on Independence Mall, which served as the headquarters for CBS' broadcasting operations in Philadelphia. On April 5, 1. 99. WMMR and WYSP switched studios. WYSP moved downtown to 5th and Market Street near Independence Mall in Philadelphia and WMMR moved out to Bala Cynwyd.
