KYW-AM Partners with NBC

[TheBigA]

It's actually a company deal between Entercom and NBC that will apply to all Entercom radio stations including KYW and WPHT.

At one time KYW was an NBC Radio affiliate when it was owned by Westinghouse.

And now KYW has officially moved to their new space “at Radio.com world headquarters.”

So KYW goes back to NBC. What's it been since the early 60s?

Wow, it’s almost like a divorce then hopping into bed with another. KYW-AM moved out of its former home with its former sister TV stations at the CBS broadcast center and later that day, Hurricane is heard giving the weather.

How the corporate climate change ultimately will affect the future of KYW Newsradio 1060 remains unclear, but the weather sure has changed at a station whose audience is accustomed to the predictable.

Since Feb. 10, longtime listeners have been hearing new but quite-familiar voices on the venerable news station, including NBC10 meteorologist Glenn Schwartz, for whom this is a most-improbable homecoming. Schwartz and colleagues Bill Henley and Kristal Keli are now doing most of KYW’s drive-time forecast chores, said a spokesman for NBC10.
Schwartz et al. replace the CBS3 weather team, which in 2014 supplanted AccuWeather, which had been a KYW staple for over 40 years. It’s the latest shift in KYW’s weather, as it fights to adapt to a challenging media climate.

OMG, the comments are the best part. It’s like a collection of get-off-my-lawn cranks got together for a convention.

I'll bet you that NBC will use the stations to bring back the Monitor weekend radio service.

Really? How much? I'll take that bet. The Entercom deal with NBC is mainly about reusing TV resources, not creating radio-only content.

That is a very different deal, syndicated by iHeart.

No. Just no.
