Thanks for posting. This was a sad time during my tenure at "Famous 56" as so many good friends lost their jobs in the dreadful format change to country and the move to "combo boards." Management nearly decided to move the call letters and rock format to FM (WUSL at the time) but WCAU's "Hot Hits" already filled that niche. Too bad, as a legendary radio station could have had new life with "no static at all.".
560 changed to the Beautiful Music format in the early 90s with WEAZ and WBEB calls but called themselves WISH 560

Yes, it's the end of an era as the Boss Jock of Philadelphia changes formats. Wow!
