WOCL (105.9 FM) is a Classic Hits formatted broadcast radio station in Orlando, Florida, owned by CBS Radio. The station airs a classic hits format, focusing on music from 1970 (with a few songs per day from the 1960s) to 1989 with the core being the late 1970s and 1980s with even some 1990s. It is similar to the format used by sister station WCBS-FM in New York. Its studios are located in Maitland and the transmitter tower is in Orange City. The station can be heard not only in the Orlando area, but also as far away as the Space Coast in Brevard County, and the eastern shores of Central Florida. To the North, the station can be heard up to Jacksonville. Sunny can also be heard as far west as the Nature Coast of Citrus and Hernando Counties. Sunny FM is also one of the few Orlando stations to cover Ocala with a decent signal. ==History== The first format on the 105.9 FM frequency was Country, which signed on from DeLand in 1965 with the callsign WDLF. It was sold in 1977 and re-branded as WELE-FM as a sister station of WELE in South Daytona, Florida. In 1986, the format was shifted to Oldies and the callsign changed to WOCL. Initially called "Class 105.9", it was renamed "Cool 105.9" in 1988. In 1999, the Oldies format was moved to WSHE at 100.3 and called "Cool 100". (That station would eventually be reformatted to Latin pop and become "Rumba 100.3" with new call letters WRUM.) 105.9, meanwhile, was changed to "Jammin' Oldies", a fad-type format at the time, and re-branded "Power 105.9". In 2000, as part of AMFM Media's merger with Clear Channel, WOCL was sold off to Infinity Broadcasting (now known as CBS Radio). By this time, the Jammin' Oldies format had entered a period of decline. On October 31, 2000, the station fired its on air staff and began stunting with Halloween-themed music and liners stating, "You're listening to WOCL 105.9. Listen today at noon.... or die." At Noon, WOCL became Alternative rock, "O-Rock 105.9." The first song was Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly." Between October 31, 2000, and January 4, 2008, the station played modern rock. During this time, they were also noted for airing the Howard Stern morning show and also the Mr. Burgess prank calls. Two talk shows, ''The Morning After Show'' and ''The Jody & Scott Show'' were turned into music-only shows in mid-2007. 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「WOCL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
