Wild 106.7 CHR pirate in SW Philly

Their top of the hour ID mentioned "WLDW Philadelphia". Their slogan is Philly's Hits and Hip Hop. Probably a former employee of Wired 96.5.

There's a Rhythmic CHR pirate station with a pretty decent signal. http://wild1067.webs.com is its site. Looks like a rip off from Wired 96.5. Pretty heavy audio processing.

Wonder why they're on 106.7 instead of 106.5.

Thunder 106.5 from the shore is somewhat listenable in the area on the car radio, 106.7 is midway between WLTW in New York & WCZY Hershey & either-or sometimes reaches parts of the area, so I'm sure neither wants a pirate on 106.7. Trying to find an 'unused' frequency in this area is difficult. The closest in my area is 91.5 but as soon as I head northwest I get interference from the little 'Christian' station 91.7 in Telford.
 
106.9 is less than 15 miles away...are they crazy? :p
There's better frequencies that don't have a close 1st-adjacent.
92.9 would seem to be a prime frequency for a pirate SW of Philly.
 
It's just a big waste of a pirate station. Why sound exactly like Wired 96.5 with a much smaller signal, right next to IQ 106.9? If anything, they should have chosen 96.3 or 96.7 just to be next to Wired 96.5.

I could hear it on I95 from the airport up to the Commodore Barry bridge, about 10 miles. At first I thought 106.7 in Hershey changed formats.

It seems pretty obvious that the person running it knows about "Wild 96.5" and its former WLDW callsign, from 10 years ago.
 
The guy that runs this station tried to get my station to do imaging for them. I spoke to Kannon about it and they no idea that this station was running Open House Party
 
Just an update... The station is still running. Website is still up at wild1067.com ... It's not very good. I spoke to Kannon last night during Open House Party. He still has no idea how they're airing the show.

My guess is that Wild 106.7 is airing OHP with Kannon (Sunday nights) via FTP Download. Because Open House Party with Kannon is NOT live, and is pre-recorded, stations are given the option to either air the show via Satellite (then they don't have to download and program the commercial spots manually), or via FTP Download from the network website, unitedstations.com . I will contact United Stations Radio Networks as soon as possible about this. As "Wild 106.7" is an illegal pirate station that's airing Open House Party without barter. Plus, WLDW is not a registered station anywhere in the United States, which is the callsign Wild 106.7 is going by. What an awful rip-off of the former Wired 96.5 (and short lived Wild 96.5 WLDW).
 
They are streaming through the free platform RadioLoyalty, while the online stream is quite good the player is plagued with ads and pop-ups. Not user friendly at all.

I'm tuned right now and "Where Do You Go" by No Mercy is playing. Nice 90's tune BTW.

How much time will be until the FCC knocks at their door?
 
Wild 106.7 is back! This time it's transmitter is located near Aston, even further from Philadelphia. They never give up. 106.7 is still a terrible frequency.
I think it should keep with the times and change the name to 106.7 Ampradio
