Ditto, As the person who signed on the first country FM in the keys, I just wanted the take on the new station.. Sounds like it is a winner, hopefully they will promote it, sell it to advertisers, and give it a chance to grow. WPIK was very successful when I was there, I don't know what happened after that. Once again the moral of the story, country does and will work in the Keys.
