Florida Man Expands In Florida, Man

• JVC Broadcasting has expanded its Florida Man Radio (FMR) network with the addition of via two new FM signals — beginning today, the content will be heard on the powerful full market signal of 103.1 WFYY/Orlando — replacing Rhythmic Top 40 “Fly 103.1.”

Concurrent with that flip, Fly 103.1 PD Stevie DeMann and longtime JVC vet Murph Dawg remain with the company, while morning host Lil’ Shawn and afternoon hosts Ricky Padilla and DJ Nasty exit.

Now, back to Florida Man Radio, which will now be heard on 101.1 FM (W266DY)/Ocala and 102.3 WXUS-HD3/Ocala, and remain on 103.1 WZLB/Ft. Walton Beach. The FMR network will continue to air live and local content, starting in morning drive with Bubba the Love Sponge, Don Miller in middays, and Shannon Burke in afternoon drive.

“Florida Man Radio is all about local shows and hot content,” said JVC EVP Shane Reeve. “FMR is the  go-to source for Florida talk radio, and I am thrilled for the continued growth of FMR, and for the opportunity to reach new audiences that connect so deeply with the incredible talents.” JVC President & CEO John Caracciolo commented, “Programming like FMR is what makes terrestrial radio relevant and strong. We have to dare to be different and produce content that drives listeners to our platform and that entertains, educates and sometimes just makes us laugh out loud”. The vision of a locally based talk station that isn’t afraid to confront the big topics while not taking it too seriously, screams the mantra of JVC. We need to keep live and local radio working for our clients and listeners.”
