101.5 LITE FM
101.5 LITE FM has a long and distinguished history in South Florida radio, originally signing on the air in 1948 as WWPB-FM. For more than 20 years the station was owned and operated by Paul Brake, who served as the station's manager and program director.
In 1969, an agreement was made to transfer the station to Sudbrink Broadcasting. Sudbrink increased the station's tower height and changed the call letters to WLYF.
The studios and transmitter were moved to what some early station staffers describe as little more than a 'quonset hut' on the Dade-Broward county line. (The building's tin roof made it nearly impossible for announcers to open their microphones during a heavy rain; the noise was just too noticeable!)
WLYF was incredibly successful; becoming the nation's first FM radio station to achieve a number-one audience rating, and routinely led the Miami market in popularity. Sudbrink owned the station until 1977 when it was sold to Storer Broadcasting, which operated it (and sister AM station WGBS) from studios in downtown Miami until 1979.
