1210 The Man

Is it gone?

Tuned in today and found Spanish music, Spanish speaking talent...then it went to Fox News and I think there was a Michael Savage segment.

It was talking over another program so I couldn't make it out very well. But I heard his voice.

What happened? Contract ended, not enough funds to continue? Is it still there and they have no liners running?

They changed their Facebook page to The Man Live too
 
I do not know the station nor operator but many AM stations in major markets lease their broadcast day to a client that provides the programming, sells the commercials and pays the station for the airtime they contracted for. Changes come quickly and unexpectedly. The contract might require a 90 day notice for cancellation but it's more like "we're shutting down at 5 so there will be nothing on the air at 5:01...sorry, we're broke.
 
Their website is still up but under On Air Now it says 'We are currently off the air.' I don't know if that's just what comes up when their web stream isn't working or if it literally means they're no longer on the air. I'd tune in to check but WNMA vanishes with the daylight in Broward.
 
I was punching around while running errands yesterday afternoon and a mix of Spanish language music and 80s-2010s AC was playing. The same thing is on this morning. Not sure how long it's been like that but I'd say The Man is done with.
