Competition
WMGK had three major competitors. In Philadelphia, there was WYSP, which changed from active rock back to classic rock on August 25, 2008, with a harder sound than that of WMGK. However, WYSP switched to SportsRadio WIP on September 2, 2011. From surrounding markets, there is also competition from WCHR-FM, and WODE. WCHR-FM 105.7 The Hawk competes with it from the Lower Bucks County area to the Jersey Shore. WODE 99.9 The Hawk, based in Easton, PA, competes in the Lehigh Valley area and the northern Philadelphia suburbs. The station also received competition from WFKB of Reading, PA (licensed to Boyertown, PA), known as "107.5 Frank FM". WFKB, which is now known as WBYN-FM with a Christian Radio format, competed with WMGK anywhere from Reading to the northern Philadelphia suburbs and the Lehigh Valley region until March 30, 2009, when the call sign and format were changed.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
