A Happy Howard Stern Profiled in Billboard Magazine

It can be said that Philadelphia played a large part in the success of radio jock Howard Stern. It was back in 1986 that 94 WYSP decided to bring in Stern's morning show from New York to the Philly's airwaves. Some say Philadelphia would not listen to an import especially from New York City.

Stern was more than ready for the challenge as he unseated John DeBella and WMMR in the ratings race for the number one morning show in Philly. Soon after Stern was added to WJFK in Washington, DC and the rest as they say was history. WYSP has never been the same station since Howard Stern left the station. WYSP is now Sports Radio WIP.

New Eagles Coach Chip Kelly Makes Appearance at Wing Bowl 21

It's so refreshing to have a football coach with a personality.

The Chip Kelly love affair with the fans of Philadelphia Eagles continued with his Friday appearance at Sportsradio 94 WIP 21st annual Wing Bowl. Eagles fans didn't even seem to mind that the team raised ticket prices for next season following a disastrous 4-12 season. Kelly is doing the right things and saying the right things through his media appearances.

Now we hope Mr. Kelly can bring Philly a Super Bowl championship in the near future. If Kelly is able to accomplish this feat, he will go down as the most revered coach in the history in Philadelphia sports.

Not too much pressure huh Chip?

WFAN-AM, The Nation’s Most-Listened-To Sports Radio Station, To Be Simulcast On FM

New Station Will Change Its Call Letters To WFAN-FM

Merlin Merlin owners of local talk station IQ 106.9 (WWIQ) hasn't had much success with their all news formats in New York or Chicago. Less than a year after the news formats were launched in both cities the news were dumped in favor of music. There was speculation that IQ 106.9 would go all news to compete with KYW, but horrible ratings in NY and Chi-town ultimately convince them to go talk. However Merlin is still hoping to see some success at the former Family Radio station WKDN.
