WFIL 100th Anniversary Show (Tony Bruno, Howard Eskin, Mark Daniels)

100 years ago today--March 18, 1922--WFIL (originally WFI, under a license issued to Strawbridge & Clothier) broadcast for the very first time. In 1935, WFI merged with WLIT (originally licensed to the Lit Brothers) to form WFIL. Over the years, the station has had various owners, geographic locations, and formats. Well-known for its "Top 40 Rock & Roll" format and its "Boss Jocks" in the 60s & 70s, WFIL later flipped to adult contemporary, country, and "beautiful" music before most recently changing to a Christian teaching/talk format late in 1993. To help commemorate the 100th anniversary, the program features WFIL alumni Tony Bruno, Howard Eskin and Mark Daniels, each very accomplished broadcasters in their own right representing over 125 years of media experience. They share great memories and insights, often referencing the impact of many talented people associated with WFIL's decorated history. We have some fun too mixing in vintage WFIL jingles along the way and gave out $5.60 gift cards to Chick Fil-A, Dunkin, Panera, Rita's & WaWa courtesy of show sponsor Bryner Chevrolet in Jenkintown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
