iHeartMedia to Put Sports Talk WDAE, Tampa on Full-Market FM

iHeartMedia swaps some frequencies in its Tampa Bay cluster, moving its “Rumba” music format off 95.7 FM and adding that full-market 100,000-watt signal to the broadcast of sports talk WDAE, effective next Monday (2/23). iHeartMedia Tampa market president Russellimg Robertson states, “Expanding WDAE’s heritage brand strengthens our long-standing broadcast and marketing partnerships with the Tampa Bay Rays, Buccaneers, Lightning, Florida Gators and USF Bulls. This evolution also reflects our continued commitment to serving Tampa Bay listeners across multiple platforms.” WDAE program director and midday host Nick Wize adds, “I am beyond excited for Tampa Bay sports fans. This is a championship market, and we’re delivering a strong, engaging lineup that brings fans closer to the teams and conversations they care about most.”
