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
101.3 WKYZ. WKYZ serves the Florida Keys with 50,000
watts of Pure Classic Rock. In 2000 Glades Media
acquired WOKC AM1570 in Okeechobee, Florida.
WAFC-FM
plays today's hot new Country and your all time favorites,
while WOKC-AM1570 focuses on your favorite Classic
Country. 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!
