… As much a part of Philadelphia as tasty cakes and soft pretzels …
1540 WPGR was a 50,000 watt daytimer in Philadelphia that had been playing Oldies since 1981. With Jerry Blavat at the helm, the station became known as “Geator Gold Radio” in April 1992. I recorded this aircheck using the Sony digital receiver in the dashboard of my car.
In this segment, Jerry is saluting the greatness of Philadelphia music. I have always enjoyed his bright delivery and how he shows his passion for the music. The Geator does it his way and often says, “I play my music from the heart, not the chart.”
