Seeing posts about old AM broadcasters biting the dust I did some searching for some of the oldtimers from my old stomping grounds in Philadelphia in the 50's and 60's. I found out that WIBG's Joe Niagara bit the dust years ago but that WIBG's Hy Lit went just last year as a result of complications from routine surgery. He set up a web site that his son runs now. They play Philly style oldies and old radio clips between the songs. This I found at:

There are several youtube videos about him. He is still on 92.1 FM every weekday from 5-7PM and can be streamed at:

I also enjoy the many youtube videos of the Philly Mummers groups and plan to make an audio CD from some of them.
