WIOD QUESTION?
- Thread starter thebeach33445
- Start date
As am MOR full service station there was always an element of talk to WIOD's programming. Larry King did talk on WIOD back in the '60's while at the same time doing an interview show on WTVJ Channel 4.
Even WQAM had a talk show. Alan Cortney a long time Miami talk personality had a show on Top 40 WQAM around 10 or 11pm till around 1am.
A good resource for more exact information would be to look in the library in either Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Check the microfiche that contain the Miami and Fort Lauderdale newspapers. There is a wealth of information there. Papers used to publish radio schedules and write about what was going on at the stations.....fun stuff for radio geeks (like ME).

WIOD's hosts were always the most conventional on the air, compared with the bombast and self-revelations of hosts on other Miami English-language stations in the 70's and early 80's. Other stations (WKAT, WNWS, WINZ) developed the all-talk format, and IOD only stepped in with both feet in the mid-80's as it phased out music and hired Neil Rogers. The departure of Mike Rainieri (early 90's) can be seen as the final end to the full-service format.
