BACK ISSUES OF SOUTH FLORIDA RADIO NEWS
|
Christian radio station WEXY (1520) in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, is known locally for its many brokered Christian radio programs.
WEXY was sold in 2002 and it seems to have a lot more brokered non-religious content than before. It's estimated to have 75% religious content and 25% everything else. Did you know that WEXY used to be a country music station WIXX, competing with two other wountry/western stations on the AM band? Previously known as WIXX, its slogan in the 1970s was "Top Gun In
Broward ... WIXX" with gunshot sound effects during the short pause.
IMHO, WIXX was weak competition for south Florida's big country stations of the era: WWOK (1260) in Miami and WGMA (1320) in Hollywood. WEXY Hosts Oakland Park Dog ParkIn 2006, the City of Oakland Park established a dog park on the WEXY transmitter site, which the city leases to the station. See WEXY 1520 Transmitter Site Going To Dogs in section 1 of January 2007 South Florida Radio News. |
