That is incorrect.

The station in Phila. Had a call of:

WRCV and it played big band music.

Boy do I miss it too.
The radio announcers who played the music were alive at the time the bands
were popular and they really had very interesting programming.

Steve, you're absolutely right. KYW belonged to a station in 
Cleveland, and they changed at that time to WWWE, and WWWE in 
Philadelphia became KYW. I was listening during the call changes.
