Tom Kent on WMJX 96X Miami | March 24, 1978
From the 96X Tribute page, this quote:
On October 1, 1975, 96X (WMJX) in Miami was born out of WMYQ an AOR station that faced stiff competition from two other AOR stations in the market. 96X entered as a top 40 station that played some soon to be classic rock along with the top 40 hits. Top 40 in those days was much different than today, and 96X thrived becoming a model for large market top 40 stations. The on-air personalities were colorful and a good part of the reason why the station was so successful. They obviously were having fun, and you did too if you listened.
Due to FCC legal troubles, billing irregularities, we think, 96X was forced off the air. Subsequent to the station’s demise, the former WBZ-FM 106.7 in Boston was sold and the new owners picked up the WMJX call letters in 1981 - where they reside along with it’s Adult Contemporary format today.
Tom Kent is really hot on this particular aircheck. Tom’s one of our favorites, and for good reason… with a resume that includes G98 Cleveland, WAVA Arlington and WLS Chicago, not to mention syndication, TK has enough talent to fill an encyclopedia. You’ll really enjoy this fast-paced historic broadcast of Miami’s own 96X!
