I turned on WIP yesterday afternoon, looking to hear some Phillies talk, before the station goes into all-Eagles, all-the-time mode in about two weeks. And Howard Eskin said he was broadcasting from the "Tastykakes Studio." Where's that, I wondered? A remote at some bar or bakery? A one-time broadcast from the Tastykakes factory?
Oh no. Starting yesterday, the actual WIP studio, in Bala Cynwyd, will henceforth be known as "Tastykake Studios.”
Now, I preface: I love Tastykakes, they're great. A true Philadelphia institution. But as the name of the studio for a hard-hitting sports talk radio station? Not so much. I'm not so certain it's consistent with the image that WIP wishes to project. Could you imagine a football team's stadium being called "Tastykakes Field"? Not quite as bad as the Pink Taco Stadium proposal, but not quite great either.
Now, if it were the Yuengling Studios, that I could get behind...
