  • WTDY January 21, 2025

    We conclude our listen to Philadelphia’s WTDY under its current New 96.5 identity. The station shifted back to Hot AC last fall after being CHR for a few years following the acquisition of WBEB. I’m not exactly sure when the shift happened, sometime after the last clip was recorded. Next week, we cross the country…

  • WTDY July 30, 2018

    As I said last week, we’re taking a listen to the next in a series of brands on 96.5 in Philadelphia. Last week, it was the new AC approach as Today’s 96.5, this week it’s Hot AC trying to be CHR 96.5 TDY. The station would apparently morph back into full on CHR, though I…

  • WTDY January 27, 2017

    As I said last week, the clip posted last week was recorded near the end of the Amp format on 96.5 Philadelphia. What was unknown to anyone at the time was that in early January 2017, the station would flip to AC as Today’s 96.5 WTDY. This clip was recorded a couple of weeks after…

    As promised last week, we’re hearing the 96.5 frequency in Philadelphia this week under its CHR Amp Radio format. What was unknown to me and pretty much everyone at the time is that about six weeks later, the station would go AC as Today’s 96.5, which we will hear next week.

  • WRDW March 31, 2015

    While we’ve listened to many stations already on this site recorded with the Global Tuners recorder, this is the first one that I actually was able to record using that method. Before then, I had to use Stereo Mix on my computer to record what GT was playing. This aircheck is Philadelphia’s 96.5 WRDW, in…

  • WXTU February 25, 2015

    Today and next week, we take a listen to two country stations. That’s about the only thing these stations have in common though. This week, it’s Philadelphia’s heritage WXTU. I don’t remember why I recorded this, but it was probably because the legal featured in this clip was one of my favorites in the country…
