Overview
The station was formerly known for its influence on the Philadelphia sports fanbase. Its prominent hosts included Angelo Cataldi, who arranged for a group of Eagles fans to attend the 1999 NFL Draft in New York and demand the Eagles select University of Texas at Austin running back Ricky Williams with their #2 pick (which led to the infamous booing of the decision to select Donovan McNabb), and Howard Eskin, whose achievements included the Terrell Owens "funeral" (following the announcement of Owens's four-game suspension from the Eagles during the 2005-2006 season), and a short-lived hunger strike in support of trading Philadelphia 76ers superstar Allen Iverson. The station was also known for hosting the annual eating contest, the Wing Bowl.

I was lost in the crowd when
I tried to find my way.
Nothing else seemed to matter
back then.
Soft encounter.

No devotion may sound wrong but is sounder.

There's no point in playing along is there now?
So they went to their car.
I was lost in the crowd when
I tried to find my way.
Nothing else seemed to matter back then.
Last encounter.
A goodbye kiss from an old friend.
Can't stay long now,
my train is headed for somewhere else.
When you're gone I envy the people you're with,
'cause they're with you.
Nothing's wrong. I've just been here too long to pretend.
Feeling so small. You stretch out beyond me.
There comes a time when all I'm feeling, everything belongs to you.
I was counting on you then.
Close your eyes and think of when.
So they gazed at the stars.
And he told her his real name.
Said it wasn't far.
