Uneducated guess, but WKIS is housed in the former Love 94 building behind comcast off 441 (NW 2nd ave) and about 186th street. It's large enough to be home to all 3 Beasley stations. With layoffs and downsizing I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if that was where WPOW & WQAM were headed.

I think Stuart is onto something.....I hear downsizing will continue especially at WQAM, including a prime host or two.
Here's what I heard...Beasley is leasing space in the QAM/Power building and they own the WKIS building. Even Sport9 who is a QAM hater must understand the financials if this move does happen. And if the KISS building has enough room for 3 stations (like CC has for their 9 stations yikes), then it's even more of a no brainer in this economy. As for prime hosts being ousted at QAM, there is rumor that DA who does nights will be leaving but I wouldn't call him a prime host. Thankfully they are cutting out most of The Beast's on-air work, he's high school talent at best.

No they're not. WPOW and WQAM are at NW 2nd ave. (441) and 202nd Street. WKIS is at 187th St. between NW 1st and 2nd. Beasley bought the building from Clear Channel when they moved Love94 to their new radio slab in Miramar . The now WKIS building was built by the Gilmour family (of the racing world) for Love94 I believe in the late 70s' early 80's. Loves former digs on South Beach was a horror by accounts of former staffers way back when. The place was an infested rat trap and the building was the size of a shoe box.

The former Love 94 building on N.W. 187th actually housed most of the Paxson stations
at one time, including WLVE, WIOD, and WZTA although space was a bit tight as I recall
from my visits. So they can probably cram WPOW and WQAM into the building. It won't be
real comfortable, but these are not comfortable times.

Years ao (1977) when WBUS changed to WWWL Love 94, I recall they used to braodcast from the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. Is that correct?
The "Long and Winding Road"! :
You are confusing them with WAEZ.
Owned by Arthur E. Zucker, they were on 94.9.
Located in the Deauville at 6701 Collins Ave, WAEZ paid their rent by naming that hotel with each on-the-hour legal ID.
They later became WOCN-FM, WINZ-FM, WZTA.
Early Broadcasting Magazine yearbooks list the license with the call letters WQAM-FM.
Down on Commerce street and down on 93.9, WMBM-FM became WGOS, WBUS, WWWL.
