SHORE IN SOUTH JERSEY HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? WIBG, now on 94.3 FM and on the internet at WIBG.com, originally the AM radio station in Philadelphia where the youth of the day, the baby boomer generation, first heard the pop and rock & roll songs that helped define the late 50’s , the 60’s and 70’s. WIBG 99am, The Big 99, was the first radio station in the nation to play Rock & Roll as a format on radio. Today, many of the memories of WIBG are not only about the music, but also the personalities who presented the music. Famous Philadelphia on air personalities like Dean Tyler, Joe “The Rockin Bird” Niagara, and Hyski O'Rooney McVoutie O'Zoot, AKA Hy Lit. And we loved them all. And we remembered them all along with the music we all grew up with. FM radio eventually took over Rock & Roll music on radio and by the late 70’s, like most AM Rock & Roll Radio stations, WIBG left the airwaves. Fast Forward to July 2009. Radio veteran Rick Brancadora had previously acquired the call letters WIBG and owned and operated WIBG 1020am in Ocean City NJ with an all-News and Christian format. Today WIBG1020am is The Talk Of South Jersey. At the same time, he knew the value of the call letters and upon acquiring the License for 94.3 FM, began building WIBG FM- South Jersey’s Oldies Station.Program Director and 10am to 3pm Mid - Day show host Rick Rock and afternoon drive time “Philly” Bill Culp were already in place on 94.3 FM. Today, 25 year South Jersey Radio veteran and General Manager, Jerry Beebe, starts the day at 6am and Ken Schaffer, owner of Philadelphia’s largest mobile DJ companies, rounds out the day 7 to Midnight., Today’s WIBBAGE Good Guys on WIBG – WIBBAGE FM 94.3, follow the “Personality Radio “traditions created by the original WIBBAGE Good Guys. There is a personal connection between the on air personalities’ and listening audience, an art that has been lost by most other stations. Because of the passion for the station, the music and the personalities the listeners have helped to create the fastest growing Station in South Jersey. WIBG enjoys a huge multigenerational listening audience locally on 94.3 as well as a worldwide at WIBG.com From the late 50’s thought the 70’s WIBG 99 Am in Philadelphia was a hugely successful contemporary music station. Today, they are WIBG - South Jersey’s Oldies Station - WIBBAGE FM 94.3 A Thumbnail History of the Wildwoods By Samuel H. Caufman Jr. "A very good land to fall in with — and a pleasant land to see." These words, written more than 350 years ago, are the first recorded description of the Island of Five Mile Beach, upon which Wildwood and her sister communities now stand. They were set down by Robert Juet, who sailed with the English navigator, Henry Hudson, on a voyage of exploration for the Dutch East India Company in 1609. Seeking a new route to China, Hudson entered what is now Delaware Bay on August 28th, but confronted by shoals and convinced the stream really wasn't the sought-after northwest passage, he swung his ship, the "Half Moon", about, rounded the point at Cape May, and headed northward in the Atlantic. Gazing shoreward, Juet watched the green waves crest and break on a broad, gradually sloping beach of fine, white sand that had as its back- drop a vast, vine-tangled forest of great beauty. It was Five Mile Beach, the "very good land" described by Juet in his journal. No further written record of it appeared until the land grant from Charles II to James, Duke of York, in 1664; then through various deeds un- til August 21, 1717, when the West Jersey Society conveyed "all its title and interest in Five Mile Beach" to Aaron Learning, Humphrey Hughes, David Wells and Jonathan Swain. But, long before Juet cast eyes upon it, Indians — a bunch of the Algonquins called the Lenni Lenapes or Delawares — frequented Five Mile Beach. They cut two trails through the dense forest. One, a continuation of the mainland King Nummy Trail, entered the north end of the island and stretched southward just west of the present New Jersey Avenue. In the middle of the island, it met another trail that entered where the Rio Grande Bridge later was built. With the eventual departure of the Indians, and long before the white settlers came to the island, off-shore farmers used the land to graze their horses and cattle, ferrying the animals from the mainland on flatboats. As the herds grew in size, many of the animals strayed away into the forest and became wild, roaming the island at will and posing a problem that continued to vex property owners as late as 1905. About 1870 a few fishermen became the first white settlers, erecting shacks at the north end of the island and naming their settlement Angle-sea. In 1874 the government built a lighthouse at Hereford Inlet. The first settlers followed Indian trails across the meadows and then reached the island by boat. Then, in 1884, the West Jersey Railroad ran a line from near Cape May Court House to Anglesea. About the same time, a crude log bridge was built at what is now Rio Grande Avenue. It was destroyed by fire. In 1885 another was built, being replaced in 1902 by a bridge to carry autos. The story of modern Wildwood and her sister communities began in 1880, the result of a man's concern for his wife's health. Sara Andrews became ill in Vineland and the doctor advised her husband, Aaron, to take her to Townsend's Inlet to recuperate. There they became the friends of the Joseph Taylor family of Philadelphia. Both families returned the following year, determined to acquire seashore homes. John Burke, a real estate salesman from Vineland, brought them to look at a tract of land in the center of Five Mile Beach. Impressed, the trio joined with Nelson Robert, Latimer Baker, and Robert Young to form the Holly Beach City Improvement Co., and in 1885 Holly Beach Borough was incorporated. Philip Pontius Baker had accompanied his brother, Latimer, to Five Mile Beach in 1881 and he, too, was impressed. As Holly Beach developed, Philip and Latimer, together with a third brother, J. Thompson Baker, organized the Wildwood Beach Improvement Co., to develop the Wales-Physick Tract, just north of Holly Beach. Their dream led to incorporation of the Borough of Wild-wood in 1895. Holly Beach and Wild-wood consolidated as the City of Wildwood. In 1885, the same year in which Holly Beach was incorporated, An-glesea also became a borough. Later, in 1910, Anglesea joined with all of the section north of Wildwood to become the City of North Wildwood. In 1905, after Wildwood began to grow, Philip Baker purchased the land south of Holly Beach and named it Wildwood Crest. The community was incorporated as a borough in 1910. West Wildwood, the "baby" of the four sister communities, was incorporated as a borough in 1920. Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors each year echo Juet's words, "A good land to fall in with." (Based on George F. Boyer's Book, "Wildwood, Middle of the Island") In 1899, Mayor Latimer Baker of Wildwood decided that his borough needed a boardwalk. In the spring of 1900, Mayor Baker's wishes were considered and construction of Wildwood's Boardwalk began. Laid directly on the sand, on what is now Atlantic Avenue, our famous Boardwalk had a very modest beginning indeed! Extending Northward from Cedar Avenue to 26th Avenue, the original boardwalk cost $1.16 per foot for a total cost of construction of $2,400.66. The wage for union carpenters that year was $.25 an hour.
