WFHT - A History
 |
WFHT-AM 1390 Avon Park – Odyssey Broadcasting (Michael Cardillo, president) acquired Avon Park’s gospel WAVP-AM 1390 (The People’s Station) from Anscombe Broadcasting Group in late 2005, and switched its calls to WFHT (Florida’s HoT 1390) in 2006.
WFHT programmed an adult standards format (Music with Class in the Heartland) and featured music from the all-time greats, like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as the more contemporary Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Diana Krall, and Harry Connick, Jr.
In October 2009, WFHT went silent, but returned to the air with a talk format (Talk with Attitude) in early 2010. That year, the FCC also transferred WFHT’s license from Odyssey to Financial Professionals International, Inc.
Azure Media, LLC (Johnson and Betsy Napoleon) acquired WFHT in 2011.
Today (2011), offices and studios for the one-kilowatt (.077 kilowatts at night) station are located at 801 U.S. Highway 27 South in Avon Park, while its transmitter site is on North Pioneer Road, off County Road 17A, east of U.S. 27.
Other names from WFHT history include Ron Zimmer (GM-2008), and Dave McCoy (GM-2010).
