WWNN (1470 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a brokered business talk radio format, whereby clients pay for airtime for long-form programming. Licensed to Pompano Beach, Florida, United States, the station serves the Fort Lauderdale area. Although the station's day power is fifty kilowatts, it is very directional away from Miami stations on 1450 and 1490. The station is owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group. Its studios are in Boca Raton and the transmitter is in Tamarac.
History
WPOM
WPOM was established at 1470 kHz with a construction permit to Gold Coast Broadcasters in 1958. The daytime-only station signed on April 4, 1959.[1] Almardon, Inc., acquired WPOM in 1961.
WRBD
From 1963 to 1997, AM 1470 was WRBD ("Radio Broward")[2] with studios on Rock Island Road in Lauderhill. Soon operating with a soul/R&B format, WRBD featured South Florida radio legends like Joe Fisher, "The Crown Prince" and "The Mad Hatter". In the 1960s, WRBD's program director was Bob Gaynor who had been in Miami radio all over the AM dial, reporting news since the 1950s. Bob Gaynor left radio to teach radio broadcasting at Miami-Lakes Tech; he retired after over 30 years of teaching and died in 2013.
James Thomas ("James T") and Jerry Rushen were involved with WRBD in addition to their legendary 30-plus years at WEDR 99.1 in Miami and its Cox Media Group sister station WHQT "Hot 105". James T was a DJ on WRBD early in his career. AM 1470 WRBD was very popular soul music station with a signal that covered most of South Florida but broadcast only during daytime hours until the 1980s. During the mid-1970s many WRBD personalities also hosted night time soul music programs on 102.7 FM which was once a sister station to WRBD as WRBD-FM, then WCKO.
WWNN
In 1997, citing competition from FM stations that were obtaining higher ratings,[3] WRBD's ownership, including Rushen, sold the station to Howard Goldsmith, owner of WSBR (740 AM) and WWNN (980 AM). The health talk and motivational programming of WWNN, established as the "Winner's News Network" in 1987, moved from the 980 signal to 1470 AM; 980 became a primarily Haitian ethnic station as WHSR. Beasley Broadcast Group of Naples acquired Goldsmith's three broadcasting outlets in 2000 for $18 million.[4]
WWNN retained the "WNN" name and branded as "Your Health and Wealth Network" until early 2019, when it changed its imaging to "WWNN, South Florida's Talk".
South Florida's MoneyTalk Network
Co-owned WSBR (740 AM) and WHSR concurrently ceased operations at midnight on December 1, 2019, in order to allow for the sale of the associated transmitter site for both stations to Parkland, Florida for $7,100,000; the city had announced plans in September 2019 to develop a 36-acre park on the land.[5] WWNN absorbed WSBR's imaging, becoming "South Florida's MoneyTalk Network", and much of its programming; it also began broadcasting over its two translators in Boca Raton and Lauderdale Lakes.[6][7]
Translators
In January 2017, WWNN began simulcasting on W237BD, a translator at 95.3 FM covering Boca Raton, Coral Springs and Parkland. When WSBR closed, WWNN began broadcasting over its former translators: W280DU (103.9 FM), which covers a similar area, and W245BC (96.9 FM), which is licensed to Lauderdale Lakes and adds coverage in east-central and northwestern Broward County.
