WMJX 96X Miami - Frank Reed - March 1977

From The Dave Freeman Collection

In the early 1970s, the 96.3 FM signal in Miami, was home to a very successful Top 40 station, known as 96 WMYQ. on October 1st, 1975, the station became 96X WMJX . The station chugged along unti April 1979, when the station briefly flipped to Disco 96, an all-disco format. By november, the station returned to it’s Top 40 roots.

Through most of it’s time on air, WMJX was fighting to keep it’s license. The station had violated FCC rules, by running a misleading contest, false news, and misleading advertising.

WMJX eventually lost its license, and signed off on February 15th, 1981. The last song played before sign-off was "The Long And Winding Road" by the Beatles. The last words, tearfully spoken on-air by the DJ, Stuart Elliott were "96X..Is WMJX, Miami"

The 96.3 frequency remained silent until June 15, 1985, when the station was brought back on the air under new ownership.

This aircheck features Frank Reed, middays on 96X, before going to WNBC New York.

After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.

You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.

We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!

We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook:   / ellisairchecks
