WJNO

In 1952, ground was broken on a new business building at 711 S. Flagler Drive, on the shores of Lake Worth, to house WIRK and Remington Rand.

[9] WIRK increased its power to 5,000 watts in 1953,[10] and September 13 saw the launch of its television adjunct, WIRK-TV (channel 21), the first TV station in the Palm Beaches.

[15] However, the station's move to big band music accompanying the format change was rolled back in 1985 when WIRK returned to country; the next year, it began simulcasting WIRK-FM.

[18] In January 2000, Clear Channel Communications swapped the intellectual units of WJNO (1230 AM) and WBZT, resulting in WJNO—the oldest radio station in West Palm Beach[19]—moving to 1290 kHz.

[20][21] The frequency change also came with turmoil, as longtime WJNO host Jack Cole, who had been at the station since 1984, was fired, with Randi Rhodes moved to afternoon drive.

[22] After her dismissal from Air America due to remarks made at a fund-raiser for KKGN deriding Hillary Clinton as a "whore" as part of a comedy routine, Rhodes returned to producing the show from WJNO.

[24] Except for a three-month break related to a contract dispute with Nova M—at which time Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Networks took over syndication duties—Rhodes remained on WJNO until she ended her program in 2014.
