The heritage WKAT call letters are still in the Miami market at 1450 AM airing a Spanish Christian format. Larry King spent some of his early radio career at WKAT beginning in the late 1950s. The RCN logo on this sticker is from Radio Cadena Nacional, one of the main radio networks in Colombia. It's unclear to me what RCN's role at WKAT was but I assume they provided some or all of their programming. If you know, leave a comment.
