WAXY-FM Miami 1988

I found the following clip here. One of the songs was our wedding song...I'll let you guess which one. This was the year I moved from Miami to Atlanta, and I can vaguely remember this personality.

Remember the days of having a real person doing the overnight shift? Here's the aircheck.

WCIX-TV Miami 1988

This is a WCIX-TV opening just prior to CBS buying the station.

The official Miami affiliation changeover occurred on January 1, 1989: WCIX became a CBS affiliate, while NBC's full schedule of programming moved to WTVJ. Fox moved its programming over to WSVN, while most of WCIX's syndicated programs went to WDZL. WCIX also began a half-hour newscast at 6:00 p.m., moved their 10:00 newscast to 11:00, and continued to increase its local news output in the early 1990s. Channel 6 officially became a CBS-owned station on January 2, 1989. However, WCIX struggled as a CBS station due to its weak signal in Fort Lauderdale. Despite operating a translator in the area on channel 27, CBS persuaded WPEC (channel 12), the longtime ABC affiliate in West Palm Beach, to switch to CBS in order to give the network a stronger signal in northern Broward County.
