History

The station began experimentally at 42.1 MHz as W3XIR, followed two years later (1941) by W69PH at 46.9 Mc. When the FCC moved the FM band to its present location, it became WCAU-FM at 102.7 and some time later, moved to 95.5, and finally, its present 98.1. WCAU-FM simulcast the MOR format on WCAU (AM) 1210 until 1966, when it, along with other CBS FM stations, presented "The Young Sound" format: an instrumental-oriented type of pseudo-rock music. In the fall of 1969, WCAU-FM replaced "The Young Sound" with an automated oldies format. The format featured the voice of Jim Nettleton and others. Live air personalities were eventually added. The station played the hits from 1955 up to and including some current product.
