Now you've done it! ;D

Back in the day of riding the school bus, it was always 99 JAMZ before COx got their hands on it vs. FOXY 1040. I miss FOXY. It was an awesome R&B AM station.
 
I think they are co-owned with KCKN, 1020 in Roswell.
So, maybe they will go classic country.
 
When I got to South FL in 1987 to work at Magic, I was knocked out with Foxy. Reverb, great jocks and music. Their cool TOTH ID's were great, too. And, they actually played a few white artists if the sound was right, like Simply Red and Lisa Stansfield.
 
I got my facts confused.
Crystal owned 1020 in Roswell as well as WLVJ.
He/they sold the roswell station to christiana something-or-other and sold 'LVJ for $2.4 million to the 1020 in Miami.
The Miami station plans on simulcasting on 'LVJ
'LVJ can't seem to get away from 1020's
Sooo...Creole, Spanish, Preachers...no great loss
 
1020, from what I understand, will also have a relay on FM in Key Largo on 95.3, with 21 kW---same call letters, WURN.

I didn't know WURN 1020 was such an influence!

My thought on this would be will Ken Held be able to continue the "Doo Wop Shop" on 1040 or will the Doo Wop Shop have to find a new home. Stay tuned I guess.

Already got the answer. Moving January 1 to WFTL 850 starting at 6pm EST.
 
Much better signal...now if they could just get a 250w FM in Broward!

So James Crystal is putting Doo Wop on their Talk station? Anything for a buck I suppose. And they wonder why the ratings for the station SUCK.
 
"So James Crystal is putting Doo Wop on their Talk station? Anything for a buck I suppose. And they wonder why the ratings for the station SUCK."

As I recall, back in the day, Ken's show was on WIOD on Sunday mornings.
 
They key is WAS. I highly doubt a station that wants to be a "news and/or talk" station in the market would put a doo wop show on in 2011
 
I would if it was AM, not FM. There's something about the sound of Doo Wop over am modulation!
 
Although most of us have seen it already, I'm sure:
From All Access: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/a...-s-purchase-of-wkdn-philadelphia-2?ref=search

"In other filings with the FCC, JAMES CRYSTAL ENTERPRISES' JCE LICENSES, L.L.C. is selling Religion WLVJ-A/BOYNTON BEACH, FL to ACTUALIDAD 1040AM LICENSEE, LLC for $2.3 million plus a time brokerage agreement before closing. The buyer, through parent ACTUALIDAD LICENSEE 1020AM, LLC, owns Ethnic WURN-A (RADIO MEGA)/KENDALL-MIAMI, FL and recently bought the construction permit for WURN-F/KEY LARGO."

1040 WLVJ already pulled the website site for their "Family Values Radio," but still hearing their old format...I guess til the end of the year.

I read somewhere that Actualidad is going to simulcast 1020 Kendall onto 1040 Boyton...can't remember where though, lost the link.
