  KYW-TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KYW's newscasts, anchored by Vince Leonard since 1958 (during its brief stint as an NBC OandO), had long been second behind WCAU, but the new format catapulted KYW to first place.
In 1972, KYW hired Philadelphia native Jessica Savitch as a young face alongside Leonard.
In the early 1980's, KYW was also the employer for a then "unknown" journalist, Maria Shriver, who would later become a co-anchor for Dateline NBC and later the First Lady of California when her husband, actor/bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor.

 KYW 1060 AM Station History
KYW Newsradio 1060 has been serving listeners in the Philadelphia region with "All News, All the Time" since September 21, 1965, when a staff of newly assembled news anchors, reporters and editors launched the format that has since become a radio powerhouse in Philadelphia.
KYW also served as the nerve center for the NBC network broadcasts of the 1940 Republican National Convention and the 1948 Republican and Democratic national conventions in Philadelphia.
KYW Newsradio was one of the pioneers in the format: the second all-news station in the country, following the lead of its Group W sister station WINS Radio in New York by six months.

 KYW, Chicago's First Radio Station.
It deals with KYW, Chicago's pioneer broadcast station and some of the silliness---in Chicago and elsewhere---that accompanied the 'Radio Craze' of the early 1920's.
A telephone line had been strung from the transmitter to a tent on the stage of the Auditorium Theater where rehearsals were in progress for the approaching opening night of the opera season (the tent had been pitched to deaden the echoes of the empty theater).
By mid-January of 1922, as KYW moved on to broader fare, Chicago was stricken by a broadcast craze.
