South Florida AM Dial 1965

[Mike Sheridan]

How times change. Here is how I remember South Florida AM radio in 1965:

560 WQAM Top 40
610 WIOD Adult Music/News NBC
710 WGBS Adult Music/News ABC
790 WFUN Top 40
940 WINZ Adult Pop Music/News
980 WLOD Beautiful Music (Pompano)
1080 WVCG Beautiful Music
1140 WMIE Spanish
1220 WOAH Country (daytime only)
1260 WAME R&B
1320 WGMA Adult Pop (daytime only) MBS
1360 WKAT Talk CBS
1400 WFTL Adult Beautiful/Classical/Pop/News ABC
1420 WDBF Adult CBS
1450 WSKP Beautiful Music
1470 WRBD R&B (daytime only)
1520 WIXX Country (daytime only)
1580 WWIL Variety/ country/Pop/Request

I might be off on WKAT being all talk that might have happened in 1966.

990 WFAB, La Fabulosa where I took my first steps in learning about Spanish language radio.
1490 WMBM Miami Beach R&B
1430 WIII Homestead

And I'll always remember driving by the Rocking Big Daddy studios visible from the Turnpike in northern Broward.

When did 1550 WRHC come on the air?

When did 1550 WRHC come on the air?

WRIZ (original calls on 1550) came on the air around January 1967. It was one of Woody Sudbrink's stations, and licensed to Coral Gables.

1430 WIII Homestead

The Voice of South Dade, pronounced W I Double-I!

 

[Mike Sheridan]

I couldn't hear WFAB and WIII in Hollywood, not a trace. I shouldn't have missed WMBM 1490.

If you listened across the South Florida radio dial in 1967, these are the type of ID's and radio jingles you would have heard that year.
