July 31, 200422 yr Goldstein's new main assignment will be as WQAM's play-by-play announcer for the Florida Panthers, something he's likely to supplement with weekend talk shows. David's main duties will continue as play-by-play announcer for the Dolphins, while Rose may leave WQAM. Station sources said he may move to a proposed all-sports station, WAXY-AM 790. Ever since Don Strock and FIU came to WAXY 790, 101.5 Lite FM's AM sister station, there have been huge rumors that WAXY would go to sports. Even though WAXY couldn't come to a deal with Foster to become THE FAN (that went to 1400), ESPN may come to a deal with WAXY. This will be interesting to watch and a bidding war between ESPN and Clear Channel for the Marlins, with WQAM mixed in there, could be very beneficial to the Marlins who get an estimated $3 million a year from WQAM now and could command $5 million easily.
July 31, 200422 yr Hey Cape, What kind of broadcast power do these stations have? Does any one have say, 50 000 watts?
July 31, 200422 yr Author South Florida has no english 50kw stations. 710 and Radio Marti are 50kw and 100kw respectively, but are spanish. Florida has no station with skywave service.

July 31, 200422 yr Oooh LiteFM going to ESPN? I actually listen to that station late at night to fall asleep, but I'd much rather listen to ESPN Radio.

July 31, 200422 yr Author With any move, the radio network will have to grow. WQAM made alot of enemies with the Marlins and Dolphins Networks.
