WQVN
WQVN (1360 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station, licensed to North Miami and serving South Florida. It is owned by Nelson Voltaire, with the license held by Radio Piment Bouk. Programming is in the French Creole language, and is targeted at listeners from Haiti.
By day, WQVN is powered at 9,300 watts non-directional. But at night, to reduce interference to other stations on 1360 AM, it reduces power to 400 watts. The transmitter is on NE 71st Street in Miami. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W272DS at 102.3 MHz.
WKAT was first licensed by the FCC on December 3, 1937 to operate on 1500 kHz, transmitting from North Bay Road in Miami Beach. The original licensee was Miami Beach mayor A. Frank Katzentine. The station first signed on the air just 2 days later. The frequency was moved to 1330 kHz in 1940, and the current 1360 kHz on the "Radio Moving Day" on March 29, 1941.
In the 1940s, singer-songwriter Arthur Fields worked at the station while in semi-retirement when the station had a popular music format.
WKAT spent the 1960s and 1970s as a Miami Beach-based local talk station.
Prior to 2005, WKAT had been South Florida's last remaining classical music station.
The conservative talk radio format began in 2005 with a lineup that resembled other outlets owned by Salem Communications: Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Savage, and William Bennett among others. And like the other stations, its tagline was "Where Your Opinion Counts."
In 2005–06, WKAT was the radio station that carried games of the Florida Pit Bulls, a defunct franchise in the American Basketball Association, later joining the Continental Basketball Association, as the Miami Majesty.
