Located at 560 on the AM dial, WFIL is immediately adjacent to New York City's WMCA (at 570), and interestingly, the two stations have extremely similar histories: Both, for example, maintained Call For Action telephone help lines, being among the first radio stations in the United States to do so. The telephone number of WFIL's Call For Action line was GReenwood 7-5312.+
