South Florida Radio History: SCROLL DOWN FOR MAIN ARTICLE Bumper Sticker (January 1, 2007) ... Today, WKAT flipped from Conservative Talk to Christian Talk, as described in New Years 2007 Radio News. Starting at 5 AM daily, popular Christian programs include Back to the Bible, Crossthoughts, The Living Word, Focus on Family (Dr. James Dobson), Powerpoint (Jack Graham), Insight for Living, and Truths That Transform (D. James Kennedy). WKAT's Health programs include the well-known Great American Products () and Healthline. And there's Radio Kalbas, a Kreyol program, starting at 11 PM. None of Salem's conservative news/talk programs remain. But you can still hear Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham on WFTL 850. And you can hear other conservative talkers on WIOD 610 and WFTL 850, too. See WFTL for more about the WFTL talkers.

WKAT 1360 Now Home To Salem's Syndicated Conservative Talk (Miami, FL -- February 3, 2005) ... On January 31, South Florida lost its only classical music station to get a new talk station. Domain Names For Sale The best domain names are already registered and might be for sale  Search here: Did you know that WKAT.COM, WLVE.COM, WPBR.COM, WLRN.COM, WKWF.COM, and WHSR.COM are all for sale here? Salem Communications Corporation's newest station, News/Talk WKAT (1360) brings us many new syndicated conservative talk show hosts not previously heard in this market. Included are Michael Medved, William Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Ernie Brown, and Dennis Prager. Plus Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham, who are already heard on WFTL (850) "Live 85". It's a nostalgic return, since WKAT ("The KAT Never Sleeps") was a Miami Beach station featuring local talk in the 1960s and '70s, a generation before Rush Limbaugh popularized syndicated talk. There's where I first heard talkmaster (WKAT terminology, not mine) Craig Worthing, probably almost 30 years ago! The fabled Jean Shepherd was on (from NY), too!

William Bennett Best remembered as U.S. Secretary of Education in the Reagan administration, William J. Bennett embarrassed himself a few years ago with his gambling problem.

Michael Medved Medved writes about not only politics, but also movies! I first saw him reviewing movies on TV many years before I ever heard him substituting for Rush Limbaugh! xxx You may notice some books listed as "Harry Medved". Those are collaborations by both Harry Medved and Michael Medved. Medved is heard on WKAT (1360) from 3 'til 6 PM, as of July 2006. If you're used to listening to Schnitt on WIOD (610), try Michael Medved for a welcome change.
