Helen Leicht and David Dye went on to WXPN, a real rock and roll alternative(especially the HD stream) and in David's case, the rest is history.
As for WIOQ afterwards, you and I might not like what they're playing, but you have to admit they're stil going strong after 20 years while some stations change formats every few years.
@fgldnglbs do you remember a station id in the 70s yhat said something like W-I-O-Q philadelphia then a synthensyser sound like ripples of water!! it may sound strange but that i remember.....do you remember that??
You don't know what you missed BEFORE 1986. that was when you didn't have formulated radio. DJs played everything, no oldies only, no rock n roll only. You heard everything. WIOQ was a good station, then it went to crap.
First off, Great video. Really hated that format and their ratings is why they switched and was so glad they went oldies and even happier when they went urban/dance/pop in January 1989. I can still hear it now. "What the hell? Here's another hit"
