WMIE

With the recent speculation of what the future holds for WMIA-FM 93.9, I thought this may be a good time to ask the question wasn't, at one time, the call letters WMIE associated with a Miami FM or possibly Miami AM station? If so, can anyone tell me which one(s)? For the past 25-years or more WMIE has been assigned to NCE-FM WMIE-FM 91.5 Cocoa.

WMIE AM and FM are now WQBA and WEDR.

Thank you, David. Can you tell me the years each station dropped the WMIE calls? I know 99.1 has been WEDR for quite sometime.

The best way to find that would be to check the Broadcasting Yearbooks (link below). I'd check myself but the site is rebuilding right now and I have all the files in cue... but from memory, the AM changed to WQBA when Susquehanna bought it, IIRC in about 67. The FM part I don't remember.
 
As I was born in 1959, I cannot say for sure; but I do not believe that 99.1 ever used the calls WMIE-FM, although that was the set of calls for the CP....I believe it was always WEDR.
