PHILADELPHIA, PA – January 23, 2025 –  Audacy’s KYW Newsradio (103.9 FM and 1060 AM) is gearing up to celebrate 60 years of its ongoing commitment to delivering trusted news to the Philadelphia area. To commemorate the diamond anniversary, the station will roll out a monthly series of special programming and initiatives throughout 2025.  

The station will kick off the year with updated 60th-anniversary imaging, on-air liners and fresh studio signage. In February, KYW Newsradio listeners can send “love notes” via the Audacy app’s voicemail feature and be featured on the station. Come March, KYW Newsradio will feature “60 Voices” from the Philadelphia area, with quotes from local community organizers, business leaders, celebrities and hometown heroes, sharing why they love living in the Delaware Valley.

“Local radio is vital more than ever, and it’s a privilege to work at a media outlet so connected to this region,” said David Yadgaroff, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Philadelphia. “For generations, Philadelphians have turned to KYW for everything from breaking traffic updates to complex international headlines. When I walked in the door as an account executive in 1992, I was so excited to work at KYW Newsradio. That sense of pride has only grown and intensified. I’m in awe of our team and their impact on the community, and we’re excited to dedicate this year to those who have devoted their lives to reporting the facts.” 

KYW Newsradio was an early innovator of the all-news format and has served the community since September 1965. In 60 years, it has kept listeners informed and connected for over 500,000 hours, given over 3,000,000 traffic and weather updates, and covered dozens of Mummers Parades, 15 mayoral races, two World Series celebrations and one memorable Super Bowl parade.
