WADY

"Lady 1320 AM" was a short-lived station licensed to Hollywood, Florida circa 1980.  These message board posts mention the station but I can't find any solid info as to what their format was.  Were they a Top-40 station?  A female-oriented Country station?  Who knows!?  If you do, feel free to leave a comment.
1320 AM currently carries a World Music format as WLQY.

UPDATE:  See comment.  Thanks Dan!

According to this site WADY was AC (Rod Stewart, ELO, Linda Ronstadt, etc.):

WADY was a top 40's station. I used to work there when Sheridan St was a dirt road & there were horses in the fields surrounding the station. I did survey work. I called people & played bits of songs for them & then they'd tell me if they liked it or not. Easy job & getting to see & pet the horses at lunch time was a nice perk.

WADY (THE LADY) WAS "THE STATION OF THE SINGLES LIFESTYLE", MANAGED BY BILL CUNNINGHAM, EX WHYI AND WSDO IN LAUDERDALE. ONE OF THE DJ'S WAS RON PARKER.

"The Lady" singles-only format was quite the trainwreck. I was in the market in 1979 when it came on. AC songs were interspersed with PSA-sounding bits about the singles lifestyle, e.g., "If you're planning a 3-way, make sure all three participants get equal attention." I do not remember Ron Parker being on the station but I'll take your word for it. Ron Parker has worked literally EVERYwhere.
