WXYB (1520 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish / ethnic format. Licensed to Indian 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. ([1])
Because it shares the same frequency as "clear channel" radio station WWKB in Buffalo, New York, this station operates during the daytime hours only. On May 15, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission fined WXYB with $4,000 (USD) for operating during the nighttime 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. [2]
