This is exactly what would work and it's wonderful to hear someone who still cares about radio like this.
Great...make the owner an offer. I bet he'd take the first $200K that walked in the door. The two of you can easily raise that money.

What? You mean my money and not somebody else's?
Ha! Exactly. You & I have talked about those guys outside Knoxville running an oldies station on a similarly challenged AM. A former radio engineer and a few of his friends. There is a similar station outside Boston. It doesn't take much money these days. No reason why there can't be one in every city.
And as for WIRA 1400 AM in Fort Pierce, which, if WFLL 1400 moved too far north (or anywhere out of the Fort Lauderdale metro area and not on WEXY's stick) they'd interfere with WIRA; WIRA is having their own interference issues with their translator at 97.1 causing problems for WOSN 97.1 FM in Vero Beach. A good pick up by Alex Browne over on the R.I U.S Radio by State boards, Radio in Florida, under "WOSN Interference."
Wonder where WFLL 1400 will end up, if ever . . . .
This would be so fantastic to have a station like this in South Florida (especially WFLL). I'd work there, probably for free or minimum wage, and work my tail off to help make it successful. To dream!
You mean the "cute little bank teller" did not ask you,
"What's a WIXX-WIXX"?
"Top Gun in Broward, WIXX"
All I remember, is that when WFLM became WIXX-FM, they reduced their power and likely their transmitter location, and went from having nice, wide stereo separation, to being monaural.
Other Broward County FM's at the time included WWIL, WMJR, WFTL-FM, and eventually WRBD-FM.
The only south Florida FM's on TV towers at the time were WTHS-FM & WJHR.
