New Station ? WDJS Dance 99.5

N

Nocturnalstate

Has anybody in miami heard this station besides me ??

ive been listening to them for a few months now and they play dance/club music. their sort of a mixture of party931 and power 96, obviously they are a low power fm due to both 99.1 and 99.9 being at 100,000 watts.. to me their most likely a pirate but ive messaged them a few times and they claim to have FCC credentials and also say they are legit.. hmmm i dunnno they have a website www.dance995.com and they also are on facebook.

can anybody corroberate that this is a new legit station ?
btw they also broadcast in HD
 
The only thing showing up is a CP for a FM translator at Florida International University. At 13 watts you would hear it on campus. Call the station and tell them you are going to stop by to see their public file. That will end all speculation.

According to the database. FIU has one on 96.9
 
We have never heard of a pirate, an LPFM, or a translator running HD, if fact we don't even know of any digital class A station, running HD, although their surely must be a few out there.
 
I was down there for Memorial weekend and they were jamming in the mix!!!! A great mix of up tempo Hip-Hop and Pop music. As we traveled towards Halouver Becah it started to static though. The RDS in the car even displayed "DANCE 99 HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND."
 
the times i have listened they say their city of licence is coral gables, but i live close to miami lakes and their signal is very spotty just a few miles north close to pembroke pines you cant hear them. im surprised nobody else has brought this up on the board i have been listening to them for a while now

WDJS is an AM licensed to Mt Olive, NC.

W258BQ is a 250 watt at 39' licensed operation at Homestead, but the FCC database indicates this is silent.

Smells very pirate to me.

The smell is mutual. I hear it on the way to my workplace near the MIA Airport. I still hear it on the way home via Hialeah Gardens, but then, poof.

My rental car, which shows RDS, does have a readout for this 99.5, but no calls or anything, just possibly title/artist. I saw CRAZY/PEOPLE listed, FWIW.

Maybe, given the signal, it is located near the Miami Cannibal HQ in the vicinity of the looooong gone WFAB studios on Biscayne. :eek:

That would account for the smell...
 
CD, let me know where a line from your house through the station hits the coast.
Do whatever it takes to attenuate the signal into your receiver.
Fairly solid @ the all-new Marlins Stadium, I can do much better than that.

Is it possible the station you are hearing is WLLY-FM 99.5 "A" Palm Beach Gardens?

Absolutely not. WLLY is "La Ley" & 100% espanol. This is dance/hip/hop/maybe *some* Spanish. It disappears as I drive north to my home at night.

I don't seem to hear it from home, or possibly driving east. If I were a betting man, I'd bet it's in Hialeah.

If you look at the website, you can see that the station is all English language with mixers doing hip hop and dance.

La Ley is regional Mexican music. http://www.laley995.com shows the abundance of accordions boots and cowboy hats.

While the mixers don't look like Johnny Depp, it looks more and more like a pirate.

Can we start a pool and take dates for how long it will take for the State of Florida or the FCC to close this one down? I say 13 months, mostly because it is apparently close to MIA.

If this is a pirate, then they are stupid pirates. Or they are really good at Photoshop.

If you look on the website for the DJs, one of them has vanity plates on what looks like a 500 series Mercedes... short of posting his Social Security number, a quick call by the authorities to the DMV should reveal this moron's name and address.

Of course, the question would be how a DJ on a pirate can buy a $80 k car, unless they have another business on the side.

Where are Crockett and Tubbs when you need them?
 
I would say a bit east of the airport, but as I drive around I WILL find them and report back.
As they are two channels away from the nearest local stations, I have no issue with them.
Just heard them play the censored version of "Beez In The Trap", the one on XM is a LOT funnier.

Theres a pirate on 97.7 in Miami that I hear every year I come down for Memorial Day weekend. I've been visiting Miami since around 2006.
 
I still want to see their public file and quarterly issues. Or at least their EAS log. :eek:

Well, if they start up every 3 months after being shut down every three, they *would* have "quarterly issues"! :D

Anyway, I just looked at the RDS readout...man, they even have their request phone number on it!

I just saw their website.....pretty slick.

Glad I don't hear it at home.....99.5's a decent spot on the DX dial.
