WRSO Wants An FM Translator

Carl/Carmine, et al. ... Flip back to True Oldies Channel and you might have something people will land and actually stay on. An FM Translator to have CBS Sports on AM/FM is going to be a waste. Then again, if someone else is paying...

And here we are.

Is the owner of WRSO the same "Carl Como" who managed WDRQ Detroit in the '70's?

He is also the same Carl Como who partnered with Ron Samuals in the early '80s to form Ronette Communications which owned WNFY "Y 100" / WNFI "I 100" Palatka (Daytona Beach from 1982 - 1986).
 
WNFI...Palatka, Ocala, Gainsville, Jacksonville, Daytona, , Orlando's I-100!! (lol)...or, something like that. :)

The first legal ID used, by what was orginally Y 100, under the first program director, Bill Baily of WLS fame, was "WNFY Palatka, serving Daytona Beach, Deland, Gainesville, Ocala, and Saint Augustine, the New Y 100". When the call letters were changed to WNFI and reimaged as "I 100", the TOH ID was then changed, under program director Randy Van Halen's watch, to "WNFI Palatka, Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Ocala, Orlando, Jacksonville, The Hot Rockin', Flame Throwin' I 100".

Dude. Van Halen was the PD. Awesome.
 
The best years of my life working for at the Flame Thrower I-100. That legal ID rocked and I remember yelling it out at the top of the every hour when I worked there. Marky Ross in the morning, Bobby Mitchell, Tony Mann, Kid Karm, Greg Parker, Steve St. James, playing all the hits!!!

What a great station at a great time.

Yes, it is pretty amazing that "Van Halen" (as in Randy) was the program director of the Flame Thrower. ;)

I 100 did, in fact, rock and had an impressive signal. It was definately Daytona's (and Central Florida's) "Party Station" back in the '80s.
 
Interesting. Possible candidate for first Orlando-area FM station? Figures it would be the one with Jim Rome that would try.
