I can't believe you have a KISS 99 FM aircheck! I think it only lasted a week or so before WKSZ unleashed the lawyers! I had forgotten about that. Up in my closet I have an aircheck of WIFI changing to WXTU, as they featured the new WXTU This Is It jingle package. I think they were country about 6 months later.
To answer your question, yes WUSL was in a dispute with WKSZ over the "Kiss" handle. On October 10th, 1982, WUSL switched from Country to Urban. Initially, the station was to be called Kiss 99, modeled after Urban outlet WRKS/NY. WKSZ, which hadn't signed on the air at that point, had trademarked the use of the "Kiss" name in Philly before WUSL flipped formats and issued a C&D letter to WUSL. WUSL backed off and eventually went with the "Power 99 FM" handle.
I listened to all of these stations when I was a kid.
