Glades Media Group History

Glades Media Company has been serving South Florida since 1980 with our first station, 99.5 WAFC-FM. In the late 80's we built WAFC AM590.  WAFC AM590 started out as a simulcast of the WAFC-FM country format.  Being unsure of what to do with the station at the time, we gave the Spanish format a try.  WAFC AM590 took right off and became a powerful outlet for the Hispanic population in South Florida.  In 1995 Glades Media acquired WAFZ AM1490 in Immokalee.  WAFZ AM1490 allowed our Hispanic voice to reach into the Ft. Myers/Naples market. The popularity of AM590 and AM1490 prompted us to expand into the West Palm Beach market with the purchase of WWRF AM1380 in the late 90's. The combination of the three stations allows us to serve South Florida from Coast-to-Coast! 

Glades Media decided in the late 90's to expand to the Florida Keys by building 101.7 WKYZ.  WKYZ serves the Florida Keys with 100,000 watts of Talk Radio.  In 2000 Glades Media acquired WOKC AM1570 in Okeechobee, Florida.  In 2003 Glades Media decided to improve our presence in the Fort Myers/Naples market by buying WAFZ-FM.  WAFZ-FM is our first FM Spanish Station.  WAFZ FM 92.1 has grown quickly to become one of our highest rated stations of the group.  Together WAFZ AM1490 and FM92.1 make a powerful combination in the Fort Myers/Naples market for the Hispanic population. In 2009 WAFC FM99.5 moved to Palm Beach Gardens and now serves the entire Palm Beach County market with the best regional mexican music. 99.5FM is now WLLY 99.5FM LA LEY. Now with the addition of 96.9FM simulcasting AM1380 WWRF in West Palm Beach, 99.5 LA LEY WLLY and AM590 all serving the Hispanic population there is really only one choice in Palm Beach County.

Glades Media is now adding another station to the Group. Glades Media has added WAFC-FM106.1 serving the Okeechobee, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach markets to the group. WAFC106.1FM together with WAFC 590AM will reach into the 96th largest radio market to serve the Hispanic population.
