WMIB
WMIB (103.5 FM) is an urban contemporary radio station in South Florida. It is licensed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but it also serves Miami and the Miami metropolitan area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and the broadcast license is held by iHM Licenses, LLC. Its studios are located in Pembroke Pines, and its transmitter site is in Miami Gardens. WMIB competes with WEDR. WMIB broadcasts with 100,000 watts of effective radiated power and 1,007 feet of height above average terrain from the Guy Gannett broadcasting tower in Miami. Other stations on the tower are WSFS, WHYI-FM, WMXJ, WHQT, WMIA-FM, WFLC, WFEZ, WEDR, and WZTU.
WMIB is licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD Radio (hybrid) format.
The station began as WWIL-FM in 1959. It carried a beautiful music format until 1972, when it changed its call letters to WSRF-FM in 1968.
In 1972, the station flipped to an album-rock format, branded as WSHE. Following its purchase by Paxson Communications in April 1996, WSHE dismissed all airstaff, dropped the rock format after 24 years, and began a 31-hour stunt loop of playing "Changes" by David Bowie, "Change" by Candlebox, and "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M., while promoting a change to come at 1:03 p.m. on May 2.
At that time, the station adopted a Modern AC format, first as "The New 103.5", then as "Planet Radio" with the new callsign WPLL. The first song "The New 103.5" was "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson.
Another format change by the station's next and current owner, iHeartMedia (then called Clear Channel Communications), this time to the "Jammin' Oldies" format, resulted in another call letter/branding change to WMGE, "Mega 103.5", at midnight on June 30, 1999.
The station flipped to “103.5 The Beat”, WMIB, on December 31, 2002. For four years, WMIB was an urban contemporary-formatted station, with a stronger emphasis on hip hop. It was home to The Baka Boyz Morning Show from its launch until late 2005, when it was replaced by The Star And Buc Wild Morning Show, which was cancelled in spring 2006.
On October 5, 2006, WMIB modified its urban format to serve an adult audience and added the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show. On-air personality Prince Markie Dee, from the group The Fat Boys, hosted the afternoon drive show. After two years as Urban AC, WMIB returned to Urban Contemporary in 2008.
