August 23, 1971, WYSP 94.1fm went on the air, serving the Philadelphia area. The format consisted of live announcers playing big band and easy listening music. August 6, 1973, the easy listening and big band music abruptly stopped, and WYSP began playing album-oriented rock (AOR). In the fall of 1981, WYSP became one of the first radio stations to switch to "classic rock." In 1995, WYSP abandoned classic rock for a contemporary hard rock format
August 18, 2011, CBS Radio announced that 94.1 FM, would change to a sports format starting on September 6, thus ending music on 94.1. The WYSP classic rock programming was then moved to its HD-3 subchannel. The station switched its call sign to WIP-FM.
