Oldies Return to 56 WFIL Philadelphia | February 14, 1984
Description by contributor John Hendricks:
On this Valentine’s Day 1984 former WFIL “boss jock” Dan Donovan returned from Minneapolis as morning man during the new oldies format which tried to revive the energy of the once-popular “Famous 56″. Donovan lasted a short time before returning to Minnesota. Also on this aircheck the same day is afternoon jock Scott Taylor.
This is our first look at WFIL, and you’ll love the PAMS 60s-era jingles!

I have not heard an Arco Go Patrol traffic report in 25 years. That is a hoot.
I moved out of Philadelphia in 1983 and Arco moved to the west coast shortly after that,

Dan Donovan first came to WFIL from WCBM in Baltimore. I guess WCBM was what you would have called chicken rock.
