SO DO YOU KNOW WHEN WAME 1260 WAS TOP 40? I KNOW COUSIN BRUCIE WAS ON THAT STATION IN 1962.


ARE YOU SAYING THAT 1260 WAS GOOD MUSIC FIRST THEN TOP 40 THEN BLACK/R&B BEFORE IT WENT COUNTRY WWOK??

ONE MORE THING: WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "GOOD MUSIC"

THANKS AGAIN!!

I don't have the exact dates as to when it was Top 40, but it was Top 40 first, then Good Music (think 61 or 62 for Good Music), then R&B....Then it was purchased by "Mission East" (Jack Roth) and turned into Country WWOK sometime in the late 1960s.

Good Music is basically a term for "Easy Listening"/"Beautiful Music" (or "Elevator Music" as it's sometimes called). WAME brought in someone from KABL in San Francisco, which at the time was one of the premier Easy Listening/"Good Music" stations in the country, to program for them back then.

Then the owner of WWBA in Tampa bought 1450 and brought a "new Ocean" to Miami and killed the good music format on 1550, which was built originally off the south end of Key Biscayne on stilts with three towers so they could protect the Bahamas on 1540.
