Officially, it is the first Radio One-owned station (along with Dallas/Fort Worth's KBFB, Philadelphia's WPHI-FM, which has changed to urban contemporary in 2011 & Indianapolis' WHHH) to be a rhythmic since the sale of former sister station WDHT in Dayton, OH and KTWN-FM in Minneapolis.
Under Radio One ownership, and prior to 2011, WPHI was one of three stations not to convert to a syndicated morning show; KBXX in Houston and WCKX in Columbus are the other two such stations.
For the radio station that was run under these call letters under the ownership of Dr. Carl McIntire, see WPHI-FM.
