HisAir Christian Radio & Records Industry News TIMELINE – Feb 14, 2019
WPOZ/Orlando (Z88.3) has expanded it’s coverage through Ocala, Florida with a new crystal clear signal on 88.7 FM. When Z88.3 boosted the 88.3 signal to 100,000 watts a few years back, the expansion overlapped the 88.7 signal in Clermont, Florida. WPOZ engineers went to work behind the scenes to figure out a way to move the 88.7 signal to a place that would give the station an opportunity to reach more people with the Gospel. All the puzzle pieces came together and that move happened today.

Melissa Young 8 years at KAXL/Bakersfield
