KYW Newsradio has been a staple in the Philadelphia community for decades. Six decades, in fact, as the outlet is celebrating its 60th anniversary in the all-news format in 2025.
To celebrate the anniversary, the Audacy Philadelphia station unveiled updated imaging and studio signage, with a new special logo created to prominently feature a diamond to commemorate the station’s longstanding all-news tradition.
“Local radio is vital more than ever, and it’s a privilege to work at a media outlet so connected to this region,” Audacy Philadelphia Senior Vice President and Market Manager David Yadgaroff said. “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,” he continued. “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.”
The station shared that it has delivered more than 3 million traffic and weather updates in its time in the genre, while also covering 15 Mayoral races in addition to two World Series and one Super Bowl parade since its shift in September 1965.
Originally airing on 1060 AM, KYW Newsradio added an FM simulcast at 103.9 in 2020.
