WXYB

WXYB (1520 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish/ethnic format. Licensed to Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, US, the station is currently owned by Angelatos Broadcasting.

The station also sells brokered time to other advertisers and groups.

Because it shares the same frequency as "clear channel" radio stations WWKB in Buffalo, New York and KOKC in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this station previously operated during the daytime hours only. On May 15, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission fined WXYB with $4,000 for operating during the nighttime hours. Further inspections find that while the station signed off, equipment failure has prevented WXYB from shutting down completely. It has since then been fixed and the FCC also reduced the fines to $3,000 based on its history of compliance with the rules.

Tower collapse and subsequent move

WXYB transmits from a tower located on Cheyenne Drive near 78th Avenue North in Seminole. WXYB had been transmitting from tower #1 used by WHBO. However in 2006, the tower fell when the guy wires were clipped by construction equipment at a housing development that was built around the antennas. WXYB was forced to operate from the third tower of the former WFSO (now WTBN) array, under FCC Special Temporary Authority ("STA"). This tower was not used by WHBO, while the other two in the array were.

Gazebo

I lived my life on a razor blade
Never found escape in my empty shade
Till came one day when the c.i.a
Said we need you bad down in leningrad
I took my life of a legal alien
A "bolivian dancer" that's what i was
And I knew I found my aim
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
I met freulein in a french caf?
Just a cigarette and "les jeux sont faits"
Till came one night when she was in sight
Through the bathroom door saw her seek for more
I took my colt and I pointed at her eyes
A sentimental cancer that's what it was
And I knew I lost my prize
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
She looked at me god she was so sweet
She knelt to my feet said she had to cheat
Cause she lived her life on the sharpest knife
And the k.g.b never let her breathe
I took her hand we decided to go far
The naivest "dancer" that's what I was
And two men approached the car
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
