WAVE
Sarasota, Florida's 102.5 FM WAVE FM played a mix of Adult Contemporary and Jazz circa 1985/86. This sounds like a possible format continuation from when they held the call letters WSRZ and were known as "The Music Wave." By 1987 they changed calls to WHVE. "The Wave" is a not uncommon radio station branding. I counted more than 30 in my collection. So I was surprised to learn that there are currently no stations with the call letters WAVE on either AM or FM according to the very reliable radio-locator.com
