Pittsburgh radio listeners may remember a few years back when WJAS (1320) was a standards/nostalgia station, it was the local affiliate for a nationally-syndicated program out of Philadelphia called “Sounds of Sinatra”. We learned today that the creator and host of the long-time program, Sid Mark, passed away seemingly unexpectedly on Monday. He was 88 and no cause of death has been announced.

The program started 62 years ago in Philadelphia and began to pick up affiliates all across the country in 1979. Despite it being a news/talk station now, the program still originates at WPHT (1210 Philadelphia). The program’s website says the program is still on the air in several markets on stations which can be heard online as well as at Audacy.com
