Fresh sound, new look for KYW Newsradio

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The news sounds a bit different today.

At KYW Newsradio 1060, we’ve spent the last few months crafting and composing updated music for the radio station. We had the help of a Philadelphia string arranger who’s a music industry icon.

They know from personal experience the ugliness that awaits Ireland if the accord fails.
