Bills vs Dolphins

After the Sabres big win over Carolina last night, surely it would be too much to ask for a Bills win this afternoon against the hated Dolphins. The Bills are having a pathetic season and stand at 3-7. They fired their head coach a couple weeks ago and are having major problems hanging with teams in the 4th quarter. It'll be the 88th time these two teams have played in the regular season.

WQAM is a Sports Talk station in Miami, Florida. They claim to be that state's first radio station going on the air in 1921. In the 1960s they carried a hugely popular Top-40 format then switched to Country in 1980. The change to Sports came in 1992. WQAM (We're Quality AM Radio) is the flagship station of the Miami Dolphins.

UPDATE: The Bills shock the Dolphins 31-14!! Rian Lindell kicked a 56 yard field goal to break a 14-14 tie with under 4 minutes to go in the game. Then the Bills made a couple interceptions and piled on two more touchdowns at the end to squish the fish!

WQBA

WQBA (W "Cuba") is a Spanish Talk station at 1140 AM in Miami, Florida. The station is popular among the large Cuban population there and used to identify themselves as "La Cubanisma" ("the most Cuban.") Their current slogan is "The Voice of Miami" ("La voz de Miami.") This sticker resembles the Cuban flag turned on its end with a single star replaced by the call letters.

Dart on Map - WLYF



After a dozen or so throws in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and extreme northern Canada, today's dart finally landed on a place called Frog City, Florida. There are few radio stations in the Everglades so I had to slide about 25 miles east and choose a station from Miami.
WWPB began broadcasting in 1948 with an Easy Listening format. The call letters were changed to WLYF in 1969 and, after a signal strength increase to 100,000 watts, they became the first FM station in the country to achieve a number one audience rating. The station has since evolved into an Adult Contemporary format as 101.5 LITE FM. WLYF is licensed to Miami, Florida.
