The CALL has been on the air in Miami-Dade County, Florida and the Upper Florida Keys since February 9, 2000. The CALL was started by a group of college-age young adults in the summer of 1994. Meeting at a surf store across from the University of Miami campus, the group felt God’s calling for this type of ministry although no opportunities appeared to be available. An FCC application was filed in late 1995, and the group prayed and pursued this vision for the next five years. In 1999, the group was given the opportunity to purchase WMKL. The CALL signed on the air on February 9, 2000. On April 22, 2005, WMKL’s signal was increased to 50,000 watts, reaching seven times as many listeners.

Expansion

The CALL is launching a new full-power FM station, WMYE 91.9 FM licensed to Ft. Myers, Florida in 2008.  WMYE will serve the Ft. Myers area including Cape Coral and a portion of southern Charlotte County to Punta Gorda, Florida.  WMYE’s signal will eventually be relayed on four FM translator stations that will extend coverage throughout Bonita Springs and Naples, Florida.  The CALL is also pursuing some other opportunities for expansion to other areas and has several applications pending with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
