radio station broadcasting a Spanish / ethnic format. Licensed toIndian Rocks Beach, Florida , USA, the station is currently owned by Angelatos Broadcasting.The station also sells brokered time to other advertisers and groups. One of these included
Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, which regularly buys time on WXYB for its college radio endeavor, "Hawk Radio". ( [http://www.hawkradio.com/] )Because it shares the same frequency as "
clear channel " radio stationsWWKB inBuffalo, New York and KOKC inOklahoma City, Oklahoma , this station operates during the daytime hours only. OnMay 15 ,2008 , theFederal Communications Commission fined WXYB with $4,000 (USD) for operating during thenight time 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. [http://www.radio-info.com/news/index.php?date=2008-05-15]External links
