WIOD
WIOD (610 AM) is a commercial radio station in Miami, serving South Florida. It airs a talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, The studios are on SW 145th Avenue in Pembroke Pines. WIOD's transmitter site is on Krome Avenue in West End, Florida. WIOD is powered at 50,000 watts by day and 20,000 watts at night. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array.
WIOD is also heard on the HD2 subchannel of sister station 105.9 WBGG-FM in Fort Lauderdale.
Weekdays on WIOD begin with two Florida-based talk shows, wake-ups with Ryan Gorman (from co-owned WFLA in Tampa) and late mornings with station veteran Manny Munoz. The rest of the schedule is made up of nationally syndicated shows, mostly from co-owned Premiere Networks: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, The Sean Hannity Show, The Glenn Beck Radio Program, The Jesse Kelly Show, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and from Compass Media Networks, This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal.
On weekends, specialty shows are heard on money, health, retirement, cars and pets, some of which are paid brokered programming. Weekend syndicated shows include Armstrong & Getty, The Ben Ferguson Show and Sunday Nights with Bill Cunningham. In June 2024, WIOD began syndicating The Josh Hammer Show on weekends. Most hours begin with an update from ABC News Radio. Accuweather supplies forecasts and the station has a news sharing arrangement with WTVJ channel 6.
Experimental broadcasts by Carl Graham Fisher, a Miami Beach developer, began in the spring of 1925. The station was licensed on January 9, 1926, and formally signed on the air on January 18, 1926. Fisher selected WIOD as the call sign, signifying the "Wonderful Isle of Dreams" to commemorate Collins Island, where studios and offices were located. WIOD is Florida's seventh-oldest continuously licensed broadcast radio station.
On February 7, 1925, an earlier station, WMBF, had been licensed to the Fleetwood Hotel Corporation in Miami Beach, with studios on the 16th floor. However, in early 1929 WMBF was consolidated with WIOD, with the combination assigned the dual call sign of WIOD-WMBF. The consolidated station was briefly assigned to WMBF's old frequency of 560 kHz, before moving to 1300 kHz later the same year.
In 1937, the station moved to 610 kHz. In 1940, the WMBF call letters were dropped from the dual call sign, and the station became just WIOD. It was an NBC Red Network affiliate through the 1930s, '40s and '50s, airing NBC's schedule of dramas, comedies, news and sports during the "Golden Age of Radio". The studios were at 600 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. In the 1950s, as network programming was moving from radio to television, WIOD switched to a full service format of middle of the road music (MOR), news and sports.
In 1956, a new Miami television station, channel 7 WCKT (now WSVN), began operation. Its owner was Biscayne Television, which was a joint arrangement with Miami's two daily newspapers, the Cox-owned Miami News and the Knight-owned Miami Herald.
