The late, legendary Hy Lit is featured in this Saturday night oldies show hosted by him. Notables: WSNI is an AC formatted station that does Oldies during weekends. Listen carefully to the (brief) glimpses of music and you’ll know instantly that Lit brought in RECORDS for this event… some scratches come through.!

Probably best known for his time at WIBG, Hy Lit passed away in 2007 after 3 decades in radio.

Thanks to a Philly resident who recorded this and posted it on our sister forum, Radioinsight.com’s Aircheck Traders Board, we have this HD quality aircheck of All News 1060 KYW’s reporting of the passing of Philly legend Hy Lit. A staple from the great 99 WIBG, Lit went into the hospital for knee surgery, and never came out.

Description by contributor John Hendricks:

For a time legendary former 1950′s-60′s top 40 “Wibbage” personality Hy Lit hosted mornings on Sunny 104. Since he’s still associated with playing “oldies” at WOGL today, it’s interesting hearing Hyski playing “contemporary” ’80′s music.

Too bad this is so short– Hy Lit is a real ‘legendary’ personality, one we’d love to hear more of!
