WIBG Radio 99 Philadelphia - The History of WIBBAGE - 1970 Courtesy: Bill Cain From the late 50s, until the mid 1960s, 99 WIBG wast the Rock & Roll leader in Philadelphia. its wildly popular top 40 format that began in the mid 1950s when DJ Joe Niagara began slipping rock and roll songs into the station's pop standards format. By 1958, the station was playing rock and roll 24 hours a day, the only station in Philly to do so well into the 1960s. The jocks were known as the WIBG "Good Guys" and included Dean Tyler, Jerry Stevens, Frank X. Feller, George Gilbert, Jack Star, Don L. Brink, Bill Wright and Hy Lit. WIBG included songs with a "Philly" edge (such as R&B) that were not heard on similarly formatted stations in other cities. In September, 1966, WFIL flipped to a top 40 format with the intention of dethroning WIBG. WFIL had a similar playlist but played 3-4 more songs per hour. WFIL soon passed WIBG in the ratings with their tighter, slicker presentation of the hits. This aircheck features The History of WIBG from 1970. You'' hear the voices of Joe Niagra, Jerry Stevens, Joey Reynolds & more. Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008!
