Philly Radio: CBS Radio On The Move, Palladino Leaving WPHT

Ed Palladino

CBS Radio Philadelphia is on the move. WPHT and WOGL will move from their City Line Avenue home to Old City, at the 4th and Market location housing WIP.

Accoridng to philly.com, KYW Newsradio, on the other hand, will join CBS3 and CW57 at 1555 Hamilton St.

 "An expiring lease brought the question of moving to the surface. By uniting KYW Newsradio and CBS3/CW57, we will have the largest news-gathering organization under one roof in the Delaware Valley and be capable of great things synergistically," said Marc Rayfield, CBS Radio Philadelphia's senior vice president and marketing manager.

"Plus, for the first time ever, our remaining [three] stations will be in a single location. We finally have marquee facilities as good as the people who inhabit them."

But that's not the only change at CBS Radio: WPHT will say goodbye to program director Ed Palladino, who is leaving after more than six years with the station. "I've been doing this for 31 years and it's time for something new," said Palladino, who will be heading to a nonradio job he wasn't ready to reveal.
