WMYT (106.7 FM), was a radio station licensed to Carolina Beach, North Carolina airing a News/Talk format. ==History== In 1999, WLGX began playing smooth jazz such as The Rippingtons, Dave Koz and Larry Carlton along with R&B by Anita Baker and Stevie Wonder.〔Rick D'Anjolell, "Scene 'N' Heard / Southern Culture on the Skids at Bessie's; New Radio Station Jazzes Up Wilmington's Airwaves," ''Star-News'', December 9, 1999.〕 On August 18, 2003, WUIN joined WPPG and became "The Penguin," described as "a different kind of bird" that played "the music you've been waiting for." For the next 2 years the station introduced an eclectic mix to its listeners. Program director Mark Keefe came from WNCW. In this format, Woody Guthrie might be followed by R.L. Burnside, John Prine and Phish, for example.〔John Staton, "Will the Penguin Rise or Fall?" ''Star-News'', November 27, 2003.〕 In late August 2005, the program director and music director were relieved of their duties, leaving many to speculate about the future of The Penguin. Within a month Sea-Comm Media had replaced the veteran programmers with Beau Gunn, an untested, but music savvy 23-year-old with no radio programming experience. The move paid dividends, as WUIN enjoyed the highest ratings since its inception. In this eclectic, independently programmed format, listeners would hear deep cut classics from the past, to new cutting edge musicians. Bluegrass, jam, rock, folk, hip hop, and Americana are all fair game. The Penguin celebrated its fifth birthday with a concert at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. Fans of the radio station enjoyed a sold-out concert by Tift Merritt and Chatham County Line. In a move rare in the radio industry, the program ''Flamenco Café''" relocated from NPR station WHQR to WUIN.〔(William Paco Strickland - William Paco Strickland - Creative Wilmington, NC - Member's Profile )〕 Other original programs on the station were ''Acoustic Café'', ''Keller's Cellar'', ''Parrott Hour'', ''Saturday Night 'Jam Session, ''Reggae Redemption'', ''Putumaya's World Music Hour'' and ''Great Music Uncorked''. Brian Schimmel of Sunrise Broadcasting said in late 2010 that Sea-Comm Media was buying WSFM 98.3 FM, which became the new radio home for The Penguin. The 106.7 frequency went to Carolina Christian Radio, owners of WMYT. On January 1, 2011, the call letters changed to WMYT.〔 Late in 2012, WMYT's owners announced plans to sell 106.7 The Word and move the teaching programming to WZDG. On July 22, 2013, WMYT became a conservative talk station, My Talker Radio, under LMA by Talk Media TV LLC. Curtis Wright, owner and Executive Producer; George Bell, owner and General Manager; and, Meghan Wright, Program Director, are the principals of the new station. The lineup of shows includes a variety of local and nationally syndicated talk shows, including Curtis Wright On The Beat, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, America Today with Andy Dean, ''Coast to Coast AM'', ''Handel on the Law'', Joe Pagliarulo, Gary Sullivan, and Leo Laporte. After being unable to generate sufficient revenue, My Talker Radio made the announcement on February 15, 2015 that they were no longer going to be broadcasting on 106.7 FM, and that they would be transitioning to an internet-only station. WMYT went dark the next day, not long afterwards, the internet station went dark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WMYT (FM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
