WMFL

1090 AM WMFL was on the air in (W) Monticello, FLorida from 1969 until some time in the 1990s.  Looking back through various Broadcasting Yearbooks, it looks like they existed like normal until around 1993.  The entries for 1994 through 1997 list them as "not on air, target date unknown" and nothing at all after that.
