WQAM 560 AM

WQAM broadcasts on the 560 kHz medium wave frequency from Miami in southern Florida. As a talk radio station, it focuses on conversation, commentary, and information rather than music. The AM frequency has a long tradition in the Miami metropolitan area, but technically reaches only a limited listening area and can be received over greater distances primarily at night.

The history of the station goes back a long way. WQAM was one of the city’s most well-known pop stations in the 1960s and 1970s before its programming changed significantly over the decades and ultimately shifted to talk and sports. These transformations reflect the general shift of the AM band in the U.S., whose audience has been shrinking for a long time.

An overview of current programs, hosts, and ownership has been deliberately omitted from this text, as such information changes frequently. Anyone wishing to follow the programming will best find the current schedules directly from the station or in relevant radio directories.
