The wording The radio station has been the original holder of the WPBS call sign since 1993. is misleading; the station may have been the primary holder of the calls in 1993, but not the original as other stations (most notably a
Philadelphia Bulletin Station now operated by Clear Channel under some other callsign) have a much longer history of having used some form of the WPBS name.
