The station is owned and operated by iHeartMedia, Inc., the largest U.S. radio station owner. The station's studios are located in South Tampa and the main transmitter site is in Town 'n' Country. HistoryWFLA began in 1925 as Clearwater radio station WGHB (1130 AM).[1] By 1927, its call letters changed to WFLA and it moved to 590 AM. It shared the frequency with WSUN before they both moved together to 620 AM in 1929. In January 1941, WFLA moved to 940 AM, then to its present 970 AM that March. WFLA carried most of the popular network shows during the golden age of radio. From 1945 to 1949, the station carried a gospel show, which featured legendary bass singer J. D. Sumner and The Sunny South Quartet. It had various music formats over the subsequent years (top 40, middle-of-the-road, adult contemporary) before switching to news/talk in 1986. It has been the market leader in this format ever since, and usually is among the top five stations in the market, according to Arbitron ratings. At one time, WFLA and its FM radio sister (93.3 FM, now WFLZ-FM) were owned by Media General, the parent company of The Tampa Tribune and WFLA-TV. In the 1980s, federal regulations forced Media General to divest the radio stations because of its other local media holdings. The radio stations were sold to Blair Broadcasting in late 1982. Sconnix Communications of Charleston, South Carolina, bought WFLA and what was then WPDS from Blair Broadcasting (which was divesting all of its English-language broadcasting properties to concentrate on what became today's Telemundo) in 1987, and Jacor Communications purchased WFLA from Sconnix in 1988. (Clear Channel Communications purchased Jacor in 1999 and thus acquired WFLA and WFLZ.) In 1989, the station moved from Jackson Street in[2] downtown Tampa to its present location at 4002 W. Gandy Blvd., in south Tampa. Another Clear Channel property in Tallahassee now uses the calls, WFLA-FM. WFLA gave national hosts Glenn Beck and Lionel their starts in talk radio. Other prominent alumni, from the days when the station concentrated on local programming, include Bob Lassiter (d. 2006), Jay Marvin, Dick Norman (d. 1989), Chuck Harder, Jack Ellery and Freddy Mertz. Other former hosts include Al Gardner, Mark Larsen, Daniel Ruth, Mark Beiro, Paul Gonzalez and Mel Berman (d. 2010). ProgrammingThe station's local morning show, AM Tampa Bay, is hosted by broadcasters Jack Harris with Aaron Jacobson, Katie Butchino, Kay Long and Jeff Kuyrkendall. The station is also the home and flagship for nationally syndicated afternoon host Todd Schnitt (The Schnitt Show). The station's weekday lineup includes nationally syndicated programs hosted by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, "PM Tampa Bay" with Ryan Gorman as well as Coast to Coast AM. WFLA provides local newscasts on both weekdays and weekends. National news is provided by Fox News Radio and NBC News Radio. The station serves as the flagship for the Tampa Bay Lightning NHL Hockey Team. It carries other sports programming on a case-by-case basis when there are scheduling conflicts with sports events on its sister stations, WDAE (620 AM) and WHNZ (1250 AM). WFLA provides news coverage for other iHeartMedia stations in the Tampa Bay market, and its anchors and reporters often are heard elsewhere in the state, providing reports and sometimes complete newscasts for those markets. WFLA also serves as a hub for the Florida News Network. References1. ^RadioYears.com 2. ^per James Gemmell, former WFLA news anchor) External links
