WUSL, an FM radio station formerly known as WPBS-FM operating at 98.9 MHz in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
In 1961, the 98.9 frequency signed on as WPBS "Philadelphia's Bulletin Station", under common ownership with the city's largest daily newspaper at the time, The Evening Bulletin.

Bill Simpson, who would later host a nighttime show on both incarnations of Smooth Jazz WJJZ (first at 106.1 and later at 97.5), used the alias Dave Sanborn on the show, which often created confusion with the well-known jazz saxophonist David Sanborn, especially among those who were not regular listeners.

WPBS changed calls to WUSL, which stood for "US-1", and Program Director Jim Nettleton instituted a Soft Adult Contemporary format mixed with standards which had crossed over to the 1960s/1970's pop charts (eg Engelbert Humperdinck, Barbra Streisand, etc.
