    Classical South Florida to Acquire WAYJ 88.7FM

    PRWeb – Tue, Feb 14, 2012

    WAY-FM Programming to Move to 89.5FM, Continue on Fort Myers Airwaves

    Colorado Springs, CO / Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

    WAY Media, Inc. today announced that Classical South Florida (CSF), a nonprofit listener-supported public radio organization dedicated to broadcasting classical music, has agreed to acquire the assets of WAYJ 88.7FM in Fort Myers, Florida. In turn, Way Media has agreed to acquire the assets of WSRX 89.5FM in Naples, Florida, from Family Christian Broadcast Network. The WAY-FM programming currently heard on WAYJ will remain present on Fort Myers airwaves by moving up the dial to 89.5FM.

    “WAY-FM started in Fort Myers back in 1987,” said Bob Augsburg, founder and president of WAY Media. “Southwest Florida is still very strategic for us, and we’re simply moving a short way up the dial. Most listeners will hear us on 89.5FM, while those in Charlotte County will be able to tune us in at 100.5FM. We’re excited about this switch, which will allow WAY Media to launch a suite of new digital initiatives”

    “We’re tremendously excited to have the opportunity to bring classical music back to the Southwest Florida airwaves,” said CSF president and general manager Douglas C. Evans. “Classical South Florida was launched in Southeast Florida in the fall of 2007, and its programming can now be heard from the upper Keys to the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. Soon our programming will reach Southwest Florida as well, from Fort Myers to Naples and Marco Island.”

    The acquisitions require approval by the Federal Communications Commission, and program changes likely will not take place before spring. Eddie Esserman of Media Services Group was the exclusive broker for this transaction, representing WAY Media. He may be reached at 912.634.6575.
