	WCAU - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		WCAU, channel 10, is the NBC owned-and-operated television station serving the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market, with studios on the border between Philadelphia and Bala Cynwyd, and transmitter in the Roxborough neighborhood.

		WCAU used music based on "Channel 2 News," written for WBBM-TV in Chicago (the de facto official music for CBS' owned-and-operated stations) and variations on it from 1982 to shortly after NBC bought the station.

	GLAAD: WCAU Falls Into The Toilet Trap
		Nine people were arrested when they went to WCAU to protest the story, maintaining that the television report was a scare story that raised the specter of child molestation, and painted the activity as more commonplace than reality dictates.
		In fact, WCAU anchor Tracy Davidson stated, "Your son could easily see the same things we did if you send him into the bathroom alone," despite the fact that the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted representatives of the shopping malls as stating that they had never received any complaints of sexual activity or of children encountering them.
		WCAU's concept of public interest seems to be not necessailry by the best interests of young people, but rather quite simply by ratings, which then translate into dollars.

	The History of WCAU Radio
		WCAU was one of them because of the Levys and their connection with the now powerful Columbia Broadcasting System.
		WCAU radio entered the history book of radio when, during June 1929, the station took part in the first broadcast from two radio-equipped airplanes, during which an airborne announcer over New York City introduced a speaker in the Philadelphia studio of WCAU.
		Listeners didn't have a clue what WCAU was airing and with that went the "dial habit." There were reports that because of its large payroll, the station was not turning a profit for CBS.

	WWS309: NBC-10 Philadelphia
		It was the first station in the country to have a local 11pm news broadcast and the first to have a 4-person evening news team (2 anchors, weatherman, and sportscaster).
		In the 1970s, the concepts of “action news” and “eyewitness news” were introduced at both the local and national levels, but WCAU was slow to adapt from its more traditional journalistic style and lost much of the young audience.
		For the 11pm news, WCAU averages a rating of 12, meaning that roughly 12% of households with televisions are tuned in to that program; in the Philadelphia market this is the equivalent of about 320,000 homes.

	WCAU Radio
		Here's the WCAU Model AA Ford Remote Truck along the East River Drive (now Kelly Drive) broadcasting the scull races along the Schuykill River in the 1930's.
		Also, if I didn't mention it the Model AA Ford Remote Truck shown in one of the pix I sent you is a 1930 model.
		I learned to drive in it, took my driver's test in it, and when I first went to work at WCAU that is what I drove.

		I put a message on Boothy443's talk page asking why he wants this article at WCAU with a reason that appears to be most probable according to my speculation.
		Ushery works for WNBC and appears on WCAU at most twice a year and that is generous.
		He founded a Yahoo Group of the same name, and he is the only person known to want KYW and WCAU to revert to their old affiliations, with no explanation as to why.

	A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
		The Bulletin sold the WCAU stations to CBS in 1958 but kept the Muzak franchise, which was soon moved to a new Bulletin-owned FM station, WPBS (Philadelphia Bulletin Station) on 98.9, still operating from the channel 10 tower and a new studio/transmitter building at 440 Domino Lane.
		When we first visited Roxborough in 1995, WCAU's status quo had held for nearly forty years - it was owned by CBS and operated its FM and TV signals from the 1950s Dresser-Crane tower and the original brick transmitter building shown at left.
		In fact, this tower is named for William, Irwin and Benjamin Fox, named for the two brothers and their father who owned WIBF (103.9) in the Philadelphia suburb of Jenkintown and, in the early sixties, secured a construction permit for WIBF-TV 29, which went on the air in 1965 from this very spot.
