Reply to comment by LibraOnTheCusp in When did WOGL 98.1 Philadelphia change formats from oldies? by kjstech
Wow I never knew they shared the same call letters as channel 10. I guess that’s legal because there’s a KYW news radio and KYW CBS 3 TV. Were they owned and operated by the same broadcaster than? Fun fact, back then channel 10 was CBS and channel 3 was NBC. They swapped sometime in the 90s.
They are playing some of those 80’s songs now. Maybe not as energetic/ enthusiastic as they were when it was considered top hits. There’s a good mix 70s-90s.

I agree!
I vaguely remember the day the switch happened. I was about 11 and turned on tbe car stereo and heard a Four Tops song and was like WTFF??? It felt like a cruel trick.

So much land around my way is privately owned in weird family trusts that go completely unused or unmanaged. I’ve noticed the state buying up stuff around and I hope it really continues.
I’ve never lived in a state on the east coast with such a vast state public lands system. The Game Commission and DCNR rival federal land agencies, and we are spoiled for it.

Not sure how they missed the golden opportunity to re-brand as Hot Hits and play all the songs they used to play from that time. They were playing most of them anyway, why not bring back the Hot Hits format for the sake of nostalgia? They could've even hired some of the old DJs, at least for a short time. I believe Barsky worked there and Terry Young was still on the air in Florida as of 2017.

It’s classist and frankly vile to speak of the peoples of the hills in western PA in this manner.

You can get a $1,600 annual check from the state of Alaska every year if you become a resident.
UBI/stimulus checks are by no means a dead subject. Politicians of both major US parties have recently floated ideas occasionally that would provide direct payments to individuals.

The Florida mountain lion population was suspected to be in the 20s, and they were still getting hit by cars, in the everglades.

Ugh I forgot they let people trap bobcats. I try not to judge but I don’t know how someone could kill a bobcat or a black bear for that matter.

That's the case for the one in Connecticut but then it was...hit by a car haha. Ive seen bobcats in the wild before. But I get pictures of bobcats all the time on trail cameras. There's even a trapping season for bobcats.
Last year the PGC sold 45,000 furtakers licenses and 20,000 bobcat permits. That's a lot of steel in the ground that's baited for predators. If they were here someone would have caught one I would think.
I say they're not here but damn would it be crazy if someone caught one. That would be like having definitive proof of aliens haha.

Not necessarily. There are bobcat here and I’ve never seen one hit by a car. Cats like that are very elusive and have a much lower population density than stuff like deer since it takes a lot of area to have enough prey for them to eat. A lot of ppl in my area think they never left I disagree with that. They are migrating in from the Black Hills in South Dakota.

They actually did. They were contemporary top 40 until 1987 when they switched to oldies.

So either 5-dimensional (move through 4 dimensions like we move through 3) beings or beings from færie? I feel like you have a solid premise for a modern fairy story right there, though honestly outside of the English speaking world there already is that sort of continuity from myth →fairy → folklore →urban legend/cryptids

100% agree. I figured bigfoot came from someone who saw a gorilla who didn't know what a gorilla is haha. Or another large primate haha.
The thing I love about mountain lions is that everyone says oh I know someone blah blah. In the last 10 years or so trail cameras have become such a thing that the woods are loaded with them. IMO if they were here they would have been hit by a car or had their picture taken haha.

Do you mean when did they switch from contemporary to oldies music?
I’m 45. WOGL used to be Hot Hits WCAU FM when I was a young child in the early 80s. It was my favorite station. I can still hear the jingle with their old call letters in my head!
My mom was an ER nurse at PCOM across the street from the station then and once took care of DJ Bill O’Brien. Back then they played current Top 40, not oldies.
I think the format change happened in 1985ish? Because then I remember switching to Eagle 106, and then Q102.
here is a link to the music 98.1 was playing in 1985. According to a comment in this link, the format changed from Top 40 to oldies in Nov 1987.
