Santa has taken over 94.5 WFLF-FM, and he’s playing your favorite Christmas classics. On Wednesday morning, many Florida Panhandle residents woke to a cheerful surprise gift from Santa Claus. IHeartMedia Panama City announced today the debut of the new Christmas 94.5, The Gulf Coast’s Christmas Station, effective immediately. That move will make way for something new as 94.5 has begun stunting as “ Christmas 94.5“.ĩ6.3 W242BF had been operating as Rock “ 96 Rock” since June 2017. On Septemat 5pm WFLF-FM ended its Christmas music stunt and launched a mainstream rock format, branded as "Rock 94.5".IHeartMedia has begun a multi-signal format shift in Panama City FL.Ĭonservative Talk “ 94.5 WFLA” has moved from 94.5 WFLF-FM Parker to 96.3 W242BF and 102.5 W273DU Panama City fed via 92.5 WPAP-HD2. In addition, the WFLA programming moved to two FM translators, fed by WPAP-HD2. On SeptemWFLF-FM began stunting with Christmas music, branded as "Christmas 94.5". This lasted until 2007 when, after the calls were changed to WFLF-FM, the station became an affiliate of Fox News Radio, cross-branding itself with sister station WFLA in the Tampa Bay area and sharing much of WFLA's conservative talk radio lineup from iHeart's Premiere Networks. In 2002, the station flipped to an Active Rock format called " The Fox 94.5" and its calls were changed to WFBX. It was the second station in the Panama City market to have the "Pirate Radio" moniker (the first being WTBB from 1992 to 1997), and existed until 2002. In 1997, WPBH (as well as WPAP, WDIZ, and WFSY) was sold to ClearChannel (now iHeartMedia) and its callsign was changed again to WPPT. Marketed as "B94.5", WKNB aired a modern country format for just under a year, when in 1994 its calls were changed to WPBH and it operated under the name "Beach 94.5" for three years. In 1993, the station's calls were changed again to WKNB. From 1991 until 1993, the station was a member of Westwood One's Real Country network. This format only lasted until 28 January 1990, when it switched to Southern Gospel music. WJST had a call letter change to WWZR in 1989, and adopted SMN's " Z Rock" format. WJST then became a country station, but proved unable to compete effectively with the already established WPAP. Brown sold the stations to Champion in 1986, who immediately sold the stations to Asterisk, Inc. Initially, WJST was on a shorter, 500-foot tower (alongside WJBU), but in 1986 WJST moved to a 1,000-foot tower. WJST was originally a rock station called "T-94". WJOE's calls were changed to WJBU, where they would stay until the station's last days in 1989. The stations were sold in 1983 to Brown Broadcasting (affiliated with John Brown University of Siloam Springs, Arkansas). In 1982, Don Crisp bought WGCV (as well as AM station WJOE 1080), moved, and upgraded the FM signal to 94.5 with 100 kW of power. WFLF-FM first signed on at 93.5 MHz in 1977 as WGCV, a station licensed to Port St Joe, Florida. WFLF-FM (94.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting in Panama City, Florida, owned and operated by iHeartMedia.
