WWDB-AM (Philadelphia, PA)
Radio
WWDB (860 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Philadelphia, with its studios and offices in the "555 Building" on City Avenue in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. It is owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group and broadcasts mostly paid brokered programming. Shows on health, money, gardening, home repair, real estate, religion and politics are found on the schedule. Some programs are broadcast in Hungarian, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Italian and other languages. Hosts pay for their time on the air and may advertise their services or products during their programs.
WWDB is a daytimer radio station. Because AM 860 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A CJBC Toronto, WWDB must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference. It is powered at 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna. The transmitter is off Foundry Road in East Norriton Township. WWDB's tower site is also used by 950 WKDN for its nighttime operations.

Calming Your Parental Nerves
The first day of school has a way of making everyone a little twitchy. Kids carry fresh notebooks, oversized backpacks, and a mix of excitement and worry. Parents aren't much different.

Every August, the routine starts over, even for families who have done it many times.
