I scanned the entire FM and AM band and couldn't pick it up.

I think you need one of those newfangled HD digital radios to pick stations up off the internet

It is NOT on the FM or AM dial per se. You have to listen to it over the internet.

With the WNEW calls in Florida and the WNBC calls just gone, moving WAMO out of town is no big deal. "Heritage" seems to mean nothing to ownership groups today.
