WKAT 1360 is a Spanish talk radio station based in the South Florida area of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The previous format was conservative talk radio with a lineup that resembled other outlets owned by Salem Communications: Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Savage, and William Bennett among others. And like the other stations, its tagline was "Where Your Opinion Counts."
In 2005-06, WKAT was the radio station that carried games of the Florida Pit Bulls, a franchise in the American Basketball Association owned in part by NBA all-star Tim Hardaway. However, the franchise is now suspended pending a move to the Continental Basketball Association, where it will be known as the Miami Majesty.
Before WKAT became a talk radio station in 2005, it had been South Florida′s last remaining classical music station. However, WKAT had spent the 1960s and 1970s as a Miami Beach-based local talk station. Before that, WKAT had a popular music format. In the 1940s, singer-songwriter Arthur Fields worked there while in semi-retirement.
Today WKAT airs Salem Communications' "Radio Luz" Spanish-language Christian format, which also appears on sister station WWDJ-AM 1150 in Boston.
WKAT has been granted an FCC construction permit to move to a different transmitter site, increase day power to 9,300 watts and decrease night power to 400 watts.
