Why? What is the definition of the Philly radio market? Doesn't it include 8 counties? Five are in PA and three are in NJ. Isn't that station in Washington Twp, Gloucester County? Gloucester County got slammed on Tuesday. I guess if you want to post of the former Y-100 that would be the PA board and not Philly? They're licensed to Media in Delco. They even used to broadcast from Delco baby!

Yeah mark they are called "PHILADELPHIA'S Renascence radio station" Not New Jersey's..
It's in the Philly market and the 5 mV/m nearly completely covers Gloucester County and nearly half of Camden County.
Wasn't this station originally licensed to Vineland?
The idea is to put something where people most interested are most likely to see it. But sometimes stuff ends up on boards the OP reads most.
This board's sub-title is: "Discuss radio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Nielsen rated radio market 8." The definition used to be broader, including Wilmington and Trenton, but that apparently caused some ambiguity. On the one hand, yes, the station is heard inside the Philly market and some established Philly air talent has ended up there at one time or another. On the other hand Nielsen does not include it in their list of (non-subscribing) stations in the market.
In any case, the Inky says 100,000 customers are still without power this morning - mostly in South Jersey. People keep saying rusty tower radio is essential in extreme bad weather and power failures (and therefore, we should keep terrestrial radio going - even on life support). Only old fashioned radio is also susceptible to weather and power failures and most stations don't have extra cash to buy generators.
In any case, this station has also gone silent before due to lack of money.

Yes. It was WWBZ for 40+ years until Cumberland County's weak economy led an owner to seek greener pastures.
