WYMR was licensed to Sebring, Florida circa 1995. Anybody know what the format of this station was?
WVOX is primarily a News/Talk station licensed to New Rochelle, New York. Almost everything heard on WVOX originates locally including shows produced by citizens and interest groups. The station lineup has been described as a "glorious hodgepodge," much of which the owner of the station can't even get excited about--everything from a travel show to Bible teaching to a weekly discussion with the mayor. There's even a thrice-weekly heavy metal show hosted by the son of the station's president.
I was hoping to make a quick and easy post today but picked a really confusing sticker.
WRKT (WRocKeT - a reference to the NASA Space Center in nearby Cape Canaveral) was a Classic Hits station licensed to Cocoa Beach, Florida. The above sticker is circa 1985 after they had switched from a Country format and before they flipped to Oldies in 1987. 1300 AM is now News/Talk WMEL.
WHTD (see yesterday's sticker) decided to add more upbeat pop, dance and hip-hop to their playlist and became WNHT "Wild 96.3" in 2004. They stunted before the impending format shift by playing "Wild Thing" by Tone-Loc non-stop.
WHTD was a Top-40 station in Fort Wayne, Indiana. 96.3 FM began as an Adult Standards station in 1994 before switching to Modern Rock WEJE "The Edge" in 1995. A flip to Country with the calls WWWD followed in 2001 before becoming "Hits 96.3." WHTD was licensed to Churubusco, Indiana.
CFQC's history in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan goes back to 1920s. They switched frequencies a few times in their ealy years, from 910 to 840 and then landing at 600 AM in 1941. From 1944 to 1962 CFQC was an affiliate of the CBC Dominion Network. During this time the station also became co-owned with CFQC-TV and shared their broadcasting facilities and staff. As with many Canadian AM stations, CFQC eventually moved to the FM dial, becoming "Hot 93" in 1995. They are currently known as "92.9 The Bull" with the call letters CKBL.
