WFLL 1400

A whole day has passed and no one has noticed their new country format?
Ordem Progresso!

...Ordem Progresso!

Are you saying they don't have a prayer, or do you just need to get waxed?

They have been country for months.
In fact, the first ratings period they were country, they actually popped a small number in Miami/Fort Lauderdale. A 0.01

Two replies and neither have even tuned them in.
Ordem E Progresso is the national motto of Brazil.
The link is to a Brazillian flag in the shape of that country.
Before any one else comments, please learn some Portuguese and listen, muito obrigado.

The link takes you to a Wordpress blog called "mysterysolvedwithmessiahjesus" -- hence my comment...

and I recognized Brazil, hence the "crack" about waxing!

Don't hold your breath. That station was famously called "the light bulb" for its low wattage, so listening is out of the question for an awful lot of people, thank God.

There was a time when it was worse than it is now. At night the graveyard frequencies like 1230, 1240 and 1400 had to power down to 250 watts at night. I noticed on my last trip down there 1400 had a good night time signal in Hollywood that we would have given anything to have when I worked there.

1400 was meant to serve Fort Lauderdale when it was put on the air in 1946. Now to be competitive you have to have a dominant signal from Boca to Kendall and from the beach to the Everglades.

Yeah, we noticed the crazy URL,.
It was the best pic we found on a google search for brazil, flags, maps.

Graveyard channels, and let us not forget 1340 and 1490, make for an interesting dilemma.
Should 250 watt translators be awarded to them on a priority basis and the six channels be reallocated to nonbroadcast use, such as LPAM?
I guess WOL covers their urban market OK on 1450, oh yes, 1450 is the other one I was thinking of!
(as we slide that last frequency right into the thread).

...speaking of Dick Farrell posting on Facebook...found this info on FB about 1400

Not that isn't wasn't obvious the Brazilian stuff was being piped in from somewhere else...just parking itself on 1400's frequency.

But here is their Facebook Page:

And the website:

Question is: Where does this leave Langer and 1120 Coral Springs? Langer has successful in flipping a lot of their stations in the northeast to Brazilian. If the market can support SIX Spanish talk stations, can it support TWO Brazilian stations?

muito obrigado!
