WPHT airs Temple University football and men's basketball. It also carries some Penn State Nittany Lions games. It was the flagship station for Philadelphia Phillies baseball for 32 years, until the 2016 season, when co-owned 94.1 WIP-FM took over that role.However, WPHT will still carry any Phillies games that WIP-FM is unable to air due to programming conflicts.

On December 26, 1932, WCAU moved to a new facility at 1622 Chestnut Street. Broadcasting called it "a thoroughly modern 9-story building ... erected especially for the WCAU Broadcasting Co."The building included eight studios and "a special office for Leopold Stokowski, director of the Philadelphia Orchestra". WCAU began experimenting with an FM station in 1942 and it was licensed in 1943. The call sign in its early years was WCAU-FMand it broadcast at 102.9 MHz.
