History

Early years, classical era as WTMI & Dance era as Party 93.1 WPYM (1971-2005)

93.1 FM was originally WKAT-FM, which began broadcasting on a full-time basis December 29, 1947.

Later, the station became classical WTMI, which ran from 1971 to noon, New Year's Eve 2001, when it flipped to a Pure Dance format and became WPYM, "Party 93.1, South Florida's Pure Dance Channel." The station earned an "Innovators Award" from Billboard magazine in 2002 and a "Best Dance Radio Station Award" at the 2004 Dancestar USA honors.

The original Party 93.1 WPYM went on the air, December 31, 2001 playing a mixture of house, dance, trance, remixes of current pop hits mixed with classic Miami freestyle and 90's dance giving the station a unique local flavor. There was nothing else like it at the time on South Florida radio when most other Miami based contemporary stations were either playing urban, rhythmic, or pop music. None played dance. WPYM was revolutionary at the time, as there were no other full power FM dance stations on the air in the USA before Party 93.1. WPYM won several awards for its format during its time on the air.
