What a difference one letter makes! iRadioPhilly has changed the name of our Pop/Hits radio station "Isis" to "Iris" to avoid negative perceptions associated with the terrorist group, ISIS.
When iRadioPhilly launched the Isis station in 2010, the female focused station was named for the Egyptian Goddess, Isis, worshiped as the ideal mother and wife. However in the last few years the terror group ISIS has captured headlines, prompting iRadioPhilly to make the change.Read More |

A personal memory -- by Paula Iacovelli Wholey - January 11, 2016 - for I RADIO PHILLY
Originality in music is rare. The '60s British invasion featured countless successful rock bands, but none had the creativity & staying-power of The Beatles. Michael Bublé, dubbed the 'young Sinatra' a few years back, wasn't really on par with the 'Chairman of the Board.' So it is with David Bowie - whom we lost yesterday (January 10, 2016), after a private but courageous 18-month battle... Read More |

| Philadelphia producer RJD2 has just announced a brand new album and tour dates for the new year. The new LP Dame Fortune more deeply explores soul music and draws inspiration from the sounds of Philly itself. He explains that before living in Philadelphia he had no context for the soul music he was in to. "Philly was a place where there were enough people who had the same musical vocabulary that I did, which made the music more than something I had just discovered on my own." The... Read More |
