Re: WSRF/WSHE-FM Ft. Lauderdale

[Rob]

When I was a kid living in Belle Glade FL I did everything I could to bring
in SHE on my stereo... I even ran lines out to the TV aerial so I could pick
it up. I loved that station. There was nothing closer that was like it.

Years later, 1996, I was hired as one of the first jocks when they had
changed the format to what later become known as Hot AC. Back then it was
described to me as a kind of "alternative rock for women." It was actually
pretty cool. Of course, they dropped the SHE moniker and call letters and
changed it to WPLL "Planet Radio." I was there until 1999. During that
time Clear Channel bought it from Paxson and turned it into a VERY
mainstream AC (Billy Joel, Elton John, Rod Stewart every hour). I left when
they finally blew it up and turned it into rhythmic oldies. While I was
there I did afternoons and was the APD, working with first Dave Stewart and
then Y-100's Rob Roberts.

Three different studios during that time -- Davie, then North Miami, and
finally to Ft Lauderdale.
