1170 St. Augustine Beach WSOS-AM. Sound Taps...

[WLLHofyore]

WSOS-AM St. Augustine Beach, FL, formatted with Oldies in AM Stereo, is going hispanic formatted, simulcasting either 970 WNNR 1570 WVOJ, or 1160 WEWC after the next couple of weeks. Sale is to the folks who now own 970, etc in Jax.

Will miss the oldies in AM stereo indeed, I will.

One more thing...What's the Hispanic demo like in St. Johns county?

I have no idea, just asking. Untapped market for sure.

To quote Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men, "Holy moley."

If I owned both 1160 and 1170, I would simulcast one on the other. This would be especially good at the beach where the signals compete.

I also see on the FCC's website there's an application to move 1570 to Orange Park, 50kw.

So this leaves just two locally operated commercial stations in St Augustine, I guess? (WFOY and WAOC--and aren't they co-owned? Wow, good deal for them.)

I don't have an inkling of the facts on that, however, spending time in and around town, there doesn't seem to be the percentage of hispanics like Metro Jax or in southeastern Putnam has, for example.
