Each year from mid-November to December 25, the station switches its analog/HD1 programming to an all-Christmas music format.
The station signed on for the first time in February 1938 with the experimental call sign W3XIR as an Apex (high frequency wideband AM) station operating at 42.14 MHz with 100 watts. WCAU Broadcasting Company owned the station. On November 2, 1941, the station, having converted to frequency modulation (FM), began regular broadcasts using the W69PH call sign at 46.9 MHz on the original 42-50 MHz FM broadcast band, which had been created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on May 20, 1940. On November 1, 1943, the station was assigned the WCAU-FM call sign. After the FCC created the current FM band on June 27, 1945, the station moved to 95.5 MHz, then 102.7 MHz, before finally moving to 98.1 MHz.
