Today marks 30 years since Eagle 106 ceased to exist.
It was only around for about six years. But the brand in this market was so strong that I still hear fond recollections of the station from Gen-Xers and younger Boomers every now and then.
It was a Friday (at 1:06 PM), and later that evening it started snowing like crazy. When the flakes finally ended Monday morning, so had Kiss 100. At 6 AM it became Scott Shannon-consulted "Z-100," then "Y-100" about a month later once it was clear Malrite wasn't going to back down on contesting Philadelphia's use of its New York name.
Hard to imagine it's been that long since the "Storm of the Century" weekend when Philly had no hit music station.
