Thanks for posting these. I grew up and lived in Philadelphia from 1976 to 1995. I miss alot of these stations. I'm sure alot of the formats have changed since then. I miss the 80s and 90s, growing up at that time; they were great times to turn the radio on. ☺
When was the WISH spot (at the very beginning)? I know for many years it was WFIL, one of the premier Top 40s. It even went country for a couple in September '81. That lasted about a couple years.
We lost some individuality when he took over. I remember Debella did some prank regarding large block of ice placed in Rittenhouse Square. It felt like community.

I grew up in Philly too, and not one commercial from WDAS? No Power 99? They were Philadelphia staples. Why aren't those commercials shown?

I love when Howard Stern's syndicated show debuted on WYSP, and his show dethroned the once mighty Joe DeBella on WMMR.
