For As Much As I Dislike Hard Rock And Heavy Metal Music, I Must Report That A Disc Jockey At The FM Radio Station In Philadelphia That Has Gone On The Air As An Experimental FM Radio Station With The Call Letters W47PH In April, 1942; Was Later Reassigned By The FCC To Transmit It’s Signal At 44.9 Megacycles In March, 1943; And Was Also Assigned The W49PH Call Letters In The Process, Was Assigned The WIP-FM Call Letters In November, 1943; Was Sold Alongside It’s AM Parent WIP-AM To Metromedia In May, 1961; Metromedia Had Felt Compelled To Install A Progressive Rock Format At This Station, In Addition To WHK-FM In Cleveland, KLAC-FM In Los Angeles, And WNEW-FM In New York City; And Metromedia Would Change The Call Letters Of This Station To WMMR-FM In 1966, By The Name Of Pierre Robert; Has Recently Passed Away (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post).

I, personally would prefer if Metromedia had instead retained the Full-Service Middle Of The Road format of WIP-FM/WMMR-FM; instead of installing the Progressive Rock format in 1968.

I do understand that while retaining the Full-Service Middle Of The Road format, for the time being, as of 1966; that Metromedia had changed the call letters of WIP-FM to WMMR-FM to install call letters that stand for “Metromedia-Radio”.
