WNMA (1210 AM) is a radio station licensed to Miami Springs, Florida, serving the Miami metropolitan area. It airs a Spanish and English-language classic hits format. The station is owned by Multicultural Broadcasting and currently operated by Adrian Pontes.

It broadcasts with 47,000 watts during the day and 2,500 watts at night. The signal can be received from as far north as Jupiter to as far south as the upper Florida keys. The nighttime directional pattern of WNMA protects 1210 in Philadelphia, a Class A 50,000-watt station.

History

WFEC and WMBM
WFEC signed on April 10, 1949. The daytime-only outlet broadcast on 1220 kHz and was owned by the Florida East Coast Broadcasting Company. However, Florida East Coast reached a deal by the end of 1949 to sell the station to Howard B. Steere, an advertising executive from Detroit. Early in 1950, an attempt made before the station had signed on to move it to 1230 kHz, thereby allowing it to broadcast at night, was denied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); in 1951, Steere asked to move WFEC to 1240 kHz, which would also allow it nighttime operation, but the move was dismissed a year later.

Steere sold WFEC in 1952 to David Haber, owner of an automobile repair company and a fleet of taxi cabs in New York, for the same purchase price he had paid two years ago—$50,000. Haber then filed to obtain a construction permit for a television station on channel 10 the next year, proposing to co-locate the TV transmitter with the radio station at 350 NE 71st Street. With five other applicants seeking the channel, Haber dropped out in November.

Under Haber and continuing under the second Florida East Coast Broadcasting Company, station programming was primarily aimed at a Black audience. As early as December 1952, WFEC promoted itself in trade advertising as "the only station in Florida featuring all-negro programming". Robert Earl Sawyer hosted a weekly program, "Negro Review", on WFEC in 1952. 1957 brought King Coleman, formerly of Tampa's WIOK. When the station gained a competitor—WMBM (800 AM, later 790 AM)—in the mid-1950s, it also lost DJ Milton Smith, known as the "Fat Daddy"; WFEC continued to promote a "Fat Daddy Show" with another DJ, while WMBM promoted Smith as the "Original Fat Daddy".

In 1955, WFEC and two other Miami stations—WMBM and WAHR—came under scrutiny by the FCC for their airing of programs by "tipsters" claiming to help listeners predict—and bet on—horse race winners. The stations won license renewals after removing the programs. The station was sold later in the year from Haber to a new Florida East Coast Broadcasting Company, owned by General Teleradio executive Harry Trenner and WFEC general manager Herbert Schorr, for $70,000. Two years later, a new group of stockholders, known as Fraternity Associates, bought a third of WFEC in exchange for a $135,000 loan. In 1960, WFEC was sold to Consolidated Communications of Philadelphia for $250,000, with the new owners pledging to retain the station's format.

The WMBM call letters became available when 790 AM changed its call letters to WFUN in January 1961 and became a general-market Top 40 outlet. WFEC took on the WMBM call letters as well as several personalities that had previously broadcast on WMBM at 790. However, WMBM also sought what had already been denied twice to the 1220 facility: the ability to broadcast at night. At the end of 1961, it began negotiating a deal with Latin Broadcasting Company, the owners of WMET (1490 AM), which would see WMET and WMBM swap facilities. The deal was finalized and announced in March 1962; Consolidated paid $253,000 to acquire the WMET-AM-FM facility.

WMET and WOAH
On April 3, 1962, the WMBM intellectual unit moved to 1490 kHz, and 1220 received a relocated WMET, a Spanish-language outlet. Three years later, however, the station dropped Spanish-language programming and changed its call letters to WOAH, airing Miami's first full-time country music format; the format flip left WFAB as the city's only Spanish-language radio station. Another attempt was made in 1965 to change the station's frequency; however, the FCC dismissed Latin's application to shift to 1190 kHz in 1969.

WLTO and WCMQ
On January 9, 1969, WOAH changed its call letters to WLTO, returning to Spanish-language programming. However, the station would not experience major turbulence until 1972, when its ownership consortium, Dynamic Broadcasting, sold the outlet to Herbert S. Dolgoff for $450,000. Dolgoff changed the call letters to WCMQ and instituted a Spanish-language pop music format; he did not speak any Spanish when he bought the station but said he was trying to learn.

The new WCMQ call letters connected the station to a lengthy broadcasting heritage in Cuba, where CMQ had been one of the most important broadcasters in the country prior to the Cuban Revolution, when the radio station became the core of the Radio Rebelde national network. A month after they were adopted by the Miami radio station, CMQ Corporation, a production company owned by the Mestre brothers who had owned CMQ before its nationalization, objected to the new moniker, claiming that WCMQ was attempting to traffic in the former Cuban broadcaster's goodwill and reputation. The FCC Broadcast Bureau overrode the objection, but on appeal, the full commission granted CMQ's application for review on February 21, 1973, citing the potential for confusion between the American and Cuban outlets and ordered the radio station to revert to its previous WLTO call letters. The Miami station countered by noting that the Cuban station had not used the call letters on air since 1968. On July 31, 1974, WLTO became WCMQ again; the next year, the FCC denied a petition by CMQ Corporation to deny the license renewal of WCMQ.

As WCMQ, the station upgraded from 250 watts of daytime power to 1,000 in 1978. It also gained an FM partner in 1974 when Dolgoff acquired WQXK-FM in Hialeah and relaunched it as WCMQ-FM.

Dolgoff attempted to sell WCMQ-AM-FM in 1979 to American Radio and Television, owned by Michael F. Leone and Joy S. Davis, for $4.5 million; the sale collapsed in July 1980. By 1981, WCMQ AM aired an Oro Puro ("Pure Gold") oldies format, complementing the younger sound of WCMQ-FM. In the early 1980s WCMQ made its fourth—and successful—attempt to change frequencies and broadcast at night. In 1981, the station filed to change its city of license from Miami to Miami Springs, move from 1220 to 1210 kHz, increase its daytime power and add nighttime service. The station moved to 1210 in 1985 and began transmitting in C-QUAM AM stereo, the first such station in South Florida.

After having owned WCMQ-AM-FM since 1972 and 1974, respectively, Dolgoff sold the pair for $15 million to Spanish Broadcasting System in 1986, marking his retirement from station ownership. SBS ownership brought an overhaul to the AM, which was sinking in the ratings, and changed its moniker from "Radio Alegre" to "Radio Centro" with a faster-paced format.

In the 1990s, WCMQ's programming shifted to talk. The station was the charter Spanish-language broadcaster of the expansion Florida Marlins Major League Baseball team in 1993, with Felo Ramírez as play-by-play announcer, under a deal that included affiliates in Latin America. Tomás García Fusté, a market veteran, defected from competitor WQBA in 1993 after more than a decade at that station.

Expanded Band assignment
On March 17, 1997 the FCC announced that 88 stations been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with WCMQ authorized to move from 1210 to 1700 kHz.

The call sign for the original WCMQ on 1210 AM was changed to WNMA on November 25, 1997, thus allowing a construction permit for the expanded band station on 1700 AM to inherit the historic WCMQ call letters on December 5, 1997. The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. Due to this requirement, on February 23, 2006 the station on 1700 AM, now with the call letters WJCC, was deleted. However, numerous other joint standard/expanded band station pairs had been permitted to operate beyond the initial five year deadline, and a petition to resume operations was granted, with WJCC's license restored on October 4, 2012. Since then, the FCC deadline has been extended multiple times, and both stations have remained authorized. One restriction is that the FCC has generally required paired original and expanded band stations to remain under common ownership.

One-on-One Sports and Radio Única

In 1997, citing a desire to exit AM radio and focus on music-formatted FM stations, SBS sold its three AM outlets—WCMQ, KXMG in Los Angeles and WXLX in New York City—to the One-on-One Sports radio network, in a $45 million transaction that saw One-on-One enter station ownership for the first time. For WCMQ listeners and air staff, the move was a shock. García Fusté found out from the Associated Press news wire, and his WCMQ program Micrófono Abierto was flooded with calls. However, for WCMQ, it ended up not being goodbye, as the station moved to a new expanded band license at 1700 kHz. That station signed on November 17, 1997—the same day that 1210 kHz flipped to One-on-One as WNMA.

One-on-One sold WNMA and WCMQ in February 1998 to the Radio Única Spanish-language radio network in a $9 million transaction. WNMA was one of 13 owned-and-operated Radio Única stations, and network operations also were based in Miami. García Fusté continued to host a program. Additionally, WNMA became the Spanish-language home of Miami Dolphins football under a two-year deal in 2001.

Sale to Multicultural
In 2003, Radio Única declared bankruptcy and sold its 15 stations to Multicultural Broadcasting for $150 million. As part of the bankruptcy, the company laid off 220 employees, including 76 in Miami.

As with most other Multicultural stations, WNMA featured brokered programming. In 2006, Venezuelan radio network  began buying air time to broadcast some of its programming in Miami, hoping to build an audience and fearful of potential reprisals as Hugo Chávez consolidated media power in Venezuela.

In 2011, Deportes Media took over WNMA under a local marketing agreement and ran the ESPN Deportes Spanish-language sports network on the station; WNMA replaced WOCN and increased the signal coverage of the network in south Florida. However, Deportes Media collapsed in 2016, losing its various local marketing agreements in Miami and other cities, and WMYM (990 AM) replaced it in the network.

After ESPN Deportes moved to WMYM, WNMA returned to talk, airing programming in English and Spanish.

1210 The Man
In late 2018, Cielo Media, led by former Salem Media Group Miami general manager, Tony Catalyud, began leasing WNMA. It relaunched the station as a male-oriented talk outlet, "1210 The Man", in March 2019. The station added a series of Caribbean talk shows to its Saturday lineup in September; the programs, which debuted in the 1980s, had aired over WZAB (880 AM) before it was sold to Immaculate Heart Media and became part of the Relevant Radio network.

Oasis
In June 2021, Adrian Pontes leased the station and relaunched it with Spanish-language Christian programming as "Radio Oasis 1210". One of the programs on the station will be his afternoon show, which had previously aired on WEYS-LP 87.7.

Spanish and English classic hits
In June 2023, The Spanish Christian "Radio Oasis" format moved to WMYM and WNMA has since been airing a Spanish and English classic hits format.

WOIR (1430 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Christian format licensed to Homestead, Florida, United States, and serving South Florida. The station is currently owned by ERJ Media, LLC, a subsidiary of the El Rey Jesús church in Miami, and programmed by the Iglesia Pentecostal Víspera del Fin.

History

Early years
On May 29, 1957—nearly two years after the filing was made—South Dade Broadcasting Co. was granted a construction permit to build a new radio station to serve Homestead on 1430 kHz, with 500 watts during daytime hours only. The station went on the air November 2 of that year, becoming the first broadcasting outlet in southern Dade County. In 1962, Seven League Productions purchased WSDB; the transaction closed in January 1963, and the call sign was changed to WIII that April. Seven League, however, struggled financially. In 1964, two groups sought the license for themselves: one, another group known as South Dade Broadcasting Company, ended up purchasing Seven League in 1966, beating out Redlands Broadcasting, a group that included a former mayor of Homestead.

In 1972, Clement Littauer purchased control of WIII. Littauer had owned two radio stations in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and had started the only English-language TV station there. The call letters changed to WRSD on June 1 of that year, changing to a middle-of-the-road format. Two years later, WRSD became WQDI when Southland Radio, Inc., acquired it; Southland flipped WQDI to country, the only format it ran at its stations. During Southland ownership, the daytime-only station was approved in 1978 to begin nighttime service, which was activated in 1980.

Southland Radio sold WQDI to Miami physician Ramiro Marrero in 1984 for $1.265 million; the station changed call signs to WRBA on September 15, 1985. However, WRBA's operational existence would prove short-lived. On the evening of August 15, 1986, the station informed its listeners it was going off air to perform construction work at its office; no such construction ever materialized, and the same day, the owners had filed for bankruptcy.

Radio Continental
WRBA was bought out of its silence by the Continental Broadcasting Corporation in 1987 and emerged as a Spanish-language station, WOIR "Radio Continental". The station's primary audience consisted of listeners of Mexican and Central and South American origin. In 1991, Carlos and Angela López reached a deal to buy WOIR, making it the first Miami-area station to be owned by Colombian Americans.

During Hurricane Andrew, Radio Continental was credited with saving the lives of hundreds of farmworkers in a labor camp. General manager Armando Gallegos remained on the air from the afternoon until midnight, pleading for listeners to evacuate; there were no deaths or injuries. The hurricane toppled both of the station's towers; after the storm, the engineer improvised a new antenna using a tree, and with aid from the city of Homestead and the Department of Defense, the station was back on air.

Christian radio
In 1995, Continental Broadcasting sold WOIR to Corpo-Mex, Inc. The format continued, but the presence of religious programming on the frequency, branded as Radio Amanecer, increased, dominating by 1999. In 2001, Amanecer Christian Network, Inc., purchased WOIR from Corpo-Mex for $2.58 million.

Amanecer Christian Network went into receivership in 2008, and a new investment company replaced it as the licensee; one of the two major debtors was Corpo-Mex, which had sold the station to Amanecer Christian Network in 2001.

ERJ Media filed to sell the station for $900,000 to Iglesia Pentecostal Víspera del Fin of Seattle, which airs Spanish-language Christian programming under the name  on stations on the West Coast, in December 2022. The church then assumed programming responsibilities for WOIR on December 16, 2022.

Online research methods (ORMs) are ways in which researchers can collect data via the internet. They are also referred to as Internet research, Internet science or iScience, or Web-based methods. Many of these online research methods are related to existing research methodologies but re-invent and re-imagine them in the light of new technologies and conditions associated with the internet. The field is relatively new and evolving. With the growth of social media, a new level of complexity and opportunity has been created. The inclusion of social media research can provide unique insights into consumer and societal segments and gaining an "emotional" measure of a population on issues of interest.

Some specific types of method include:
Cyber-ethnography
Online content analysis
Online focus groups
Online interviews
Online qualitative research
Online questionnaires
Social network analysis
Web-based experiments
Online clinical trials – or see below

Online clinical trials
Clinical trials are at the heart of current evidence-based medical care. They are, however, traditionally expensive and difficult to undertake. Using internet resources can, in some cases, reduce the economic burden, and may have other benefits in Medicine.  Paul et al.,  in The Journal of Medical Internet Research,  describe the background and methodologies of online clinical trials and list examples.

Research in and with social media
The advent of social media has recently led to new online research methods, for example data mining of large datasets from such media or web-based experiments within social media that are entirely under the control of researchers, e.g. those created with the software Social Lab.

The Farman F.51 was a 1920s French maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed and built by Farman. The F.51 was an unequal-span four-bay biplane flying boat with a crew of four. It was powered by two Lorraine 8bd engines mounted in tractor configuration. A pusher engined version was designated the Farman F.50 (even though the designation had been used before in 1919).
Tested by the French Navy but it failed to win any orders, Farman did briefly consider a civil version but the project was abandoned.

WKAT (1450 AM, "Radio Vida") is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Christian radio format, known as "Radio Vida." Licensed to Miami, Florida, the station is owned by Nelson Volatire, through licensee Radio Piment Book, Inc.

WKAT broadcasts at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna.  The transmitter is off NE 71st Street in Miami.  Programming is also heard on FM translator W270CV at 101.9 MHz, with its tower on SE 2nd Street at Biscayne Boulevard.

History
In 1947, the station first signed on the air.  Its original call sign was WWPB and it was powered at only 250 watts.  The call letters were chosen to represent its owner and general manager, Paul Brake.  The following year, Brake put an FM station on the air, 101.5 WWPB-FM (today WLYF).

 Around 2000, the station, known as WOCN, switched to Spanish-language programming.  It was branded as "WOCN Radio 1450," broadcasting a talk radio format. It was a brokered programming station which sold its time to hosts who then sold their own advertisements to support their shows. The station was known in the Cuban-American community for its leftist commentators.  It later switched to a sports radio format, using programming from the ESPN Deportes network.

Its call sign was changed to WKAT on September 16, 2019.  The WKAT call letters were popular in Miami for many years on 1360 AM, which was a long-time English-language talk station that had been an early stopping point for broadcaster Larry King and others.  That station is now WQVN, broadcasting to the Haitian community.

The Florida College System, previously the Florida Community College System, is a system of 28 public community colleges and state colleges in the U.S. state of Florida. In 2020–2021, enrollment consisted of 640,183 students. Together with the State University System of Florida, which consists of Florida's twelve public universities, the two systems control all public higher education in the state of Florida.

While governed by local boards of trustees, the colleges are coordinated under the jurisdiction of Florida's State Board of Education. Administratively, the chancellor of the Florida College System is the chief executive officer of the system, reporting to the commissioner of Education who serves as the chief executive officer of Florida's public education system. In 2009, the Florida Legislature changed the name from the "Florida Community College System" to the "Florida College System," reflecting the fact that some of its member institutions now offer four-year bachelor's degrees.  Only two schools in the Florida College System still have the word "community" in their official name: Hillsborough Community College and Tallahassee Community College.

Mission and offerings
Section (s.) 1004.65, Florida Statutes (F.S.), establishes the primary mission and responsibility of Florida College System institutions as responding to community needs for post secondary academic education and career degree education. This mission and responsibility includes:
(a) Providing lower level undergraduate instruction and awarding associate degrees.
(b) Preparing students directly for careers requiring less than baccalaureate degrees. This may include preparing for job entry, supplementing of skills and knowledge, and responding to needs in new areas of technology. Career education in a Florida College System institution shall consist of career certificates, credit courses leading to associate in science degrees and associate in applied science degrees, and other programs in fields requiring substantial academic work, background, or qualifications. A Florida College System institution may offer career education programs in fields having lesser academic or technical requirements.
(c) Providing student development services, including assessment, student tracking, support for disabled students, advisement, counseling, financial aid, career development, and remedial and tutorial services, to ensure student success.
(d) Promoting economic development for the state within each Florida College System institution district through the provision of special programs, including, but not limited to:
1. Enterprise Florida-related programs.
2. Technology transfer centers.
3. Economic development centers.
4. Workforce literacy programs.
(e) Providing dual enrollment instruction.
(f) Providing upper level instruction and awarding baccalaureate degrees as specifically authorized by law.

A separate and secondary role for Florida College System institutions includes the offering of programs in:
(a) Community services that are not directly related to academic or  occupational advancement.
(b) Adult education services, including adult basic education, adult  general education, adult secondary education, and General Educational Development test instruction.
(c) Recreational and leisure services.

In addition, s. 1007.33(2), F.S., requires that any Florida College System institution that offers one or more baccalaureate degree programs:
(a) Maintain as its primary mission:
1. Responsibility for responding to community needs for post secondary academic education and career degree education as prescribed in s. 1004.65(5), F.S.
2. The provision of associate degrees that provide access to a university.
(b) Maintain an open-door admission policy for associate-level degree  programs and workforce education programs.
(c) Continue to provide outreach to underserved populations.
(d) Continue to provide remedial education.
(e) Comply with all provisions of the statewide articulation agreement which relate to 2-year and 4-year public degree-granting institutions as adopted by the State Board of Education pursuant to s. 1007.23, F.S.

In 2023, the presidents of the system's member institutions issued a joint statement against Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and stated that they "will not fund or support any institutional practice, policy, or academic requirement that compels belief in critical race theory or related concepts such as intersectionality".

An online focus group is one type of focus group, and is a sub-set of online research methods. They are typically an appropriate research method for consumer research, business-to-business research and political research.

Typical operation
A moderator invites pre-screened, qualified respondents who represent the target of interest to log on to conferencing software at a pre-arranged time and to take part in an online focus group. It is common for respondents to receive an incentive for participating. Discussions generally last one hour to 90 minutes. The moderator guides the discussion using a combination of predetermined questions and unscripted probes. In the best discussions, as with face to face groups, respondents interact with each other as well as the moderator in real time to generate deeper insights about the topic.

Appropriateness as a research method and advantages
Online focus groups are appropriate for consumer research, business to business research and political research. Interacting over the web avoids a significant amount of travel expense. It allows respondents from all over the world to gather, electronically for a more representative sample. Often respondents open up more online than they would in person, which is valuable for sensitive subjects. Like in-person focus groups, online groups are usually limited to 8-10 participants. 'Whiteboard' exercises and the ability to mark up concepts or other visual stimuli simulate many of the characteristics of in-person groups.

In addition to the savings on travel, online focus groups often can be accomplished faster than traditional groups because respondents are recruited from online panel members who are often qualified to match research criteria.

Software options
There are a variety of software options, most of which offer similar features but can vary significantly in price. It is important to choose your software carefully, ensuring that it is easy enough to use by both you as a researcher and your participants. Of course, you should also choose a software that will meet your research needs effectively. Software is just one aspect of online groups, just as facilities are just one aspect of face to face groups. As with in-person groups, the skill of the moderator, the quality of the recruiting and the ability to tie the results to research objectives and business decisions is critical to the value of the research to the client.

A new emerging type of online focus group is one where there are only single participants, with no moderator (unmoderated online focus groups). A system invites prescreened, qualified respondents to participate on a "first come, first served" basis, and to conduct a task or series of tasks such as interacting with a website or website prototype, reacting to an online ad or concept, viewing videos, commercials (whether for TV or online production), etc., while at their home or workplace. While the participant is conducting the assigned task, his or her own webcam is recording their face, and at the same time, every action taking place on the screen is being recorded. After the task is completed the participant is asked to answer a series of post task survey questions such as "What was the message being conveyed by that ad? Why did you stop viewing that video? Why were you unable to complete the goal?" etc.

The results are composited into a 360° Video in Video (ViV), such that a synchronized recording of the desktop, both browser and non browser related, is played (what the participants did), synchronized with a web cam recording of the participant in their home or workplace (what the participant said, who they are, and what is their context) playing simultaneously.

The first recorded online focus group was led by Bruce Hall (President, Eureka! Inventing) and Doug Brownstone (Rutgers University), both marketers at Novartis Consumer Health at the time based in Summit, New Jersey. While at a conference in Scottsdale, Arizona in June, 1995 they led an online focus group on the Perdiem laxative brand which included ten women recruited from the brand's customer database. While the online tools were primitive at the time it was deemed to be valuable in collecting consumer insights.

This service was first brought to market by www.userlytics.com, and initially focused on the website usability and user experience field. However, its uses have since expanded to hosted prototype testing, ad and campaign optimization prior to multivariate testing, understanding analytics results, desktop and enterprise user interface (UI) testing, and software as a service (SaaS) testing.

Patent Information

U.S. Patent No. 6,256,663 is summarized as 'System and Method For Conducting Focus Groups Using Remotely Located Participants Over A Computer Network.'  and was filed on January 22, 1999 by Greenfield Online, Inc.

The market research technology provider Itracks (Interactive Tracking Systems Inc.) later acquired the patent in 2001 from Greenfield Online.

WWNN (1470 kHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Pompano Beach, Florida, and serving Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The station is owned by Vic Canales, through licensee Vic Canales Media Group, LLC.  The studios are in Boca Raton.  Part of the day, the station airs brokered programming, where hosts pay for their time and may advertise their products or services during their shows.  The rest of the day, the station carries The True Oldies Channel.

By day, WWNN is powered at 30,000 watts.  It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array to avoid interfering with stations in the Miami area on 1450 and 1490 kHz.  At night, to further reduce interference to other stations, the power is reduced to 2,500 watts.  The transmitter is on NW 44th Street, near Florida's Turnpike, in Tamarac.  Programming is also heard on two FM translators:  95.3 W237BD in Boca Raton and 96.9 W245BC in Lauderdale Lakes.

History

WPOM
In 1958, Gold Coast Broadcasters was granted a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission.  It was given the call sign WPOM.  The daytime-only station signed on the air on . Almardon, Inc., acquired WPOM in 1961.

WRBD
In May 1963, WPOM became WRBD ("Radio Broward").  The studios were on Rock Island Road in Tamarac.  Four months later, WRBD became the first radio station in Broward County oriented to the local African American community.  It featured South Florida radio legends like Joe Fisher, "The Crown Prince" and "The Mad Hatter".

WRBD's Radio Broward designation turned into "Rockin' Big Daddy" as the format changed. A similarly formatted FM sister station, the mostly automated WRBD-FM 102.7, launched in December 1969.  It became WCKO in 1971, playing disco music, and remained Black-oriented throughout the 1970s. The pair became charter affiliates of the Mutual Black Network in 1972.

Rose Broadcasting acquired WRBD and WCKO for $2 million in 1978. The new owners flipped the disco-formatted FM to album-oriented rock as "K-102" the next year, to reduce overlap between the two stations' target markets.

Rose owned the two stations until their acquisition by Sconnix Broadcasting in 1985, a $7 million deal. Sconnix replaced WCKO's rock format with adult contemporary as WMXJ that March. In 1986, an investor group led by John Ruffin, a Black supermarket executive, acquired the AM station from Sconnix for $2 million; the sellers retained WMXJ. WRBD thus became the first Black-owned radio station in South Florida. The split resolved a culture clash between the mostly Black AM staff and the white FM staff, much of which Sconnix had imported from other markets the year prior; Ruffin renovated the neglected studios. By 1991, however, facing financial difficulties and heavy competition from FM stations, WRBD had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

James Thomas ("James T") and Jerry Rushin bought the station from Ruffin in 1992.

WWNN

In 1997, citing competition from FM stations that were obtaining higher ratings, WRBD's ownership, including Rushin, sold the station to Howard Goldsmith, owner of WSBR (740 AM) and WWNN (980 AM). Rushin then went on to become the general manager of WEDR (99.1 FM). James T had been a DJ on WRBD early in his career. The health talk and motivational programming of WWNN, established as the "Winner's News Network" in 1987, moved from the 980 signal to 1470 AM; 980 became a primarily Haitian ethnic station as WHSR. Beasley Broadcast Group of Naples acquired Goldsmith's three broadcasting outlets in 2000 for $18 million.

WWNN retained the "WNN" name and branded as "Your Health and Wealth Network" until early 2019, when it changed its imaging to "WWNN, South Florida's Talk".

South Florida's MoneyTalk Network
Co-owned WSBR (740 AM) and WHSR concurrently ceased operations at midnight on December 1, 2019, in order to allow for the sale of the associated transmitter site for both stations to Parkland, Florida for $7,100,000.  The city had announced plans in September 2019 to develop a 36-acre park on the land.

WWNN absorbed WSBR's imaging, becoming "South Florida's MoneyTalk Network", and much of its programming.  It also began broadcasting over its two translators in Boca Raton and Lauderdale Lakes.

Oldies 95.3/96.9
On February 2, 2022, Beasley sold WWNN and its two translators to Marco Broadcasting. The sale was consummated on April 1, 2022, at a price of $1.25 million.

On May 25, 2022, Marco sold WWNN and its two translators to Vic Canales Media Group. On July 5, 2022, the station added oldies music as "Oldies 95.3/96.9", with music from The True Oldies Channel. The sale to Vic Canales Media Group was consummated on August 19, 2022, at a price of $1.45 million.

Translators
In January 2017, WWNN began simulcasting on W237BD, a translator at 95.3 FM covering Boca Raton, Coral Springs and Parkland. When WSBR closed, WWNN began broadcasting over its former translators: W280DU (103.9 FM), which covers a similar area, and W245BC (96.9 FM), which is licensed to Lauderdale Lakes and adds coverage in east-central and northwestern Broward County.

Coastal engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the specific demands posed by constructing at or near the coast, as well as the development of the coast itself.

The hydrodynamic impact of especially waves, tides, storm surges and tsunamis and (often) the harsh environment of salt seawater are typical challenges for the coastal engineer – as are the morphodynamic changes of the coastal topography, caused both by the autonomous development of the system and man-made changes. The areas of interest in coastal engineering include the coasts of the oceans, seas, marginal seas, estuaries and big lakes.

Besides the design, building and maintenance of coastal structures, coastal engineers are often interdisciplinary involved in integrated coastal zone management, also because of their specific knowledge of the hydro- and morphodynamics of the coastal system. This may include providing input and technology for e.g. environmental impact assessment, port development, strategies for coastal defense, land reclamation, offshore wind farms and other energy-production facilities, etc.

Specific challenges

The coastal environment produces challenges specific for this branch of engineering: waves, storm surges, tides, tsunamis, sea level changes, sea water and the marine ecosystem.

Most often, in coastal engineering projects there is a need for metocean conditions: local wind and wave climate, as well as statistics for and information on other hydrodynamic quantities of interest. Also, bathymetry and morphological changes are of direct interest. In case of studies of sediment transport and morphological changes, relevant properties of the sea bed sediments, water and ecosystem properties are needed.

Long and short waves

The occurrence of wave phenomena – like sea waves, swell, tides and tsunamis – require engineering knowledge of their physics, as well as models: both numerical models and physical models. The practices in present-day coastal engineering are more-and-more based on models verified and validated by experimental data.

Apart from the wave transformations themselves, for the waves coming from deep water into the shallow coastal waters and surf zone, the effects of the waves are important. These effects include:
 the wave loading on coastal structures like breakwaters, groynes, jetties, sea walls and dikes
 wave-induced currents, like the longshore current in the surf zone, rip currents and Stokes drift, affecting sediment transport and morphodynamics
 wave agitation in harbors, which may result in harbor downtime
 wave overtopping over seawalls and dikes, which may e.g. threaten the stability of a dike

Underwater construction

Coastal engineering takes place at or near the interface between land and water. Consequently a significant part of coastal engineering involves underwater construction, particularly for foundations. Breakwaters, sea walls, harbour structures like jetties, wharves and docks, bridges, tunnels, outfalls and causeways usually involve underwater work.

Sustainability and soft engineering
In recent decades, coastal engineers have favored non-structural solutions, which avoid adverse impacts that are typically cause by structures, such as sea walls, bulkheads, jetties, etc. These solutions include beach nourishment, marsh restoration/creation, and habitat restoration. More recently, beneficial use of dredge material, which utilizes material dredged for navigation maintenance to nourish beaches and restore wetlands. Beneficial use is also employed to increase the elevation of marsh platforms in an attempt to adapt to sea level rise.

Regional sediment management has also become a focus strategy for coastal practitioners. This essentially uses nearshore sediment sources and knowledge of coastal morphology to identify which accretional features can be harvested to bolster erosional areas, understanding the harvested material will continue to accumulate. A common regional sediment management option is to dredge ebb and flood shoals to nourish beaches.

Both beneficial use and regional sediment management recognizes the scarcity of material resources offshore and upland.

Lancaster and Morecambe College is a further education College situated on Torrisholme Road,  between Lancaster and Morecambe, Lancashire, England. The college has been providing the local area with access to further and higher education since it was built in the 1950s although it can trace its mission back to Lancaster Mechanics Institute in 1824.

Facilities
Lancaster & Morecambe College has a wide range of facilities open to the public such as a sports centre, conferencing facilities, hairdressing salon, beauty salon, dog grooming parlour, restaurant, nursery and recording studio.

Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are aimed at people aged 16–24 and provide students with a chance to gain work experience alongside a national recognised qualification.

History
While the college in its present incarnation has only existed since the 1950s, Lancaster and Morecambe College traces its existence back to the early 19th century. The history of the college begins in 1824, when the Library and Mechanics' Institute was opened in Mary Street, Lancaster. The college moved from various sites before being re-established in 1891 as the Storey Institute, a recently constructed premises complete with purpose-built facilities.

The new premises were built on the site of the Mechanics' Institute of 1824. It was built to a design by Paley, Austin and Paley, and was paid for by Thomas Storey (which is why it became known as the Storey Institute). It was donated to the town in 1893 as a technical and science school, newsroom, library, art school and gallery and venue for musical recitals. In 1904, Thomas' son Herbert gave £10,000 to extend the Institute up Castle Hill.

In 1953, the College was again re-established, this time on its present site. In 1963, the College was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

WMBM (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a gospel format. Licensed to Miami Beach, Florida, United States, the station serves the Miami area.  The station is currently owned by New Birth Broadcasting Corp. Inc. and features programming from Westwood One.

History

WAHR
WAHR signed on the air October 31, 1954. Owned by and named for Alan Henry Rosenson, the station aired a continuous music format. Rosenson owned WLRD (93.9 FM), which changed its call letters to WAHR-FM in 1956.

The manager of the station hired a young man, Larry Zeiger, to perform miscellaneous clean-up tasks. When one of the station's announcers suddenly quit, Zeiger was put on the air; Simmons suggested that Zeiger's last name was too ethnic, so he became Larry King. King would become the station's sports director, leaving in 1958 for WKAT.

WMET
Rosenson sold WAHR-AM-FM to Community Service Broadcasters in 1958. After the $150,000 purchase, the new ownership—most of which hailed from Cincinnati—changed the call letters to WMET, continuing a format emphasizing news, sports and adult music. WMET eventually became a full-time Spanish-language outlet, the first in South Florida.
In 1961, the owners of daytime-only station WMBM (1220 AM), Florida's first black radio station—which in turn had just absorbed the call letters and some talent of the previous WMBM at 790 AM—agreed to a deal with Latin Broadcasting Company to swap facilities. The deal was finalized and announced in March 1962; Consolidated Communications, which owned WMBM, paid $253,000 to acquire the WMET-AM-FM facility.

WMBM
On April 3, 1962, the WMET intellectual unit moved to 1220 kHz, and 1490 (and 93.9 FM) received a relocated WMBM.   WMBM went on to develop a large and popular history as Miami's premier AM station for rhythm and blues, gospel, jazz and programming targeted to an African-American audience. Noted jazz broadcaster China Valles had a popular show on the station. In its 1960s heyday, the station attempted a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway which clogged the MacArthur Causeway with drivers from Overtown seeking free turkeys.  Motivational speaker Les Brown was a disc jockey on WMBM.

In 1992, Eddie Margolis bought WMBM from his father. After a failed half-Haitian, half-gospel format, the station flipped to talk in 1993 and briefly adopted the call letters WSBH.
On March 10, 1995, the station returned to a gospel format, as it had for much of the 1980s, and the WMBM call letters.

WEXY (1520 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an urban contemporary gospel format, with some paid brokered programming on religion, health and other topics.  Licensed to Wilton Manors, Florida, United States, the station serves the Fort Lauderdale area.  The station is currently owned by Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Licensee, LLC. The original call letters were WIXX.  The station had once been co-owned with WIXX-FM, now WBGG.

History

In addition to WEXY 1520 AM, Multicultural Broadcasting also operates two sister stations in Miami/Dade County, WNMA 1210 AM and WJCC 1700; both stations serve their listening areas with a mix of Hispanic and Haitian cultural music and talk programming. WNMA was a onetime ESPN Deportes outlet, but the ESPN programming moved to Radio Actualidad's 990 WMYM.

WEXY first went on the air in June 1963, starting out as the AM sister station to Fort Lauderdale's WAXY-FM 105.9, then known as WFLM, which is now known as WBGG "Big 106."

According to a 1990 Sun Sentinel Newspaper interview, WEXY had its roots in the 1960s, when WEXY's owner, Juno Beattie, then operating a beauty shop in Durham, North Carolina, met Jim Beattie, who then owned Durham's top rated rock radio station. They met when Jim attempted to get Juno's shop to buy spots on the station.

The 1970s and 1980s

The Beattie's then purchased additional stations in North Carolina, Virginia, and Daytona Beach, Florida. In 1970, they (operating as "Celebrities, Inc.") purchased 1520 AM, a low wattage country station, in Wilton Manors, Florida, which served the Fort Lauderdale metro area with a 1,000 watt signal as WIXX 1520 "The Top Gun in Broward."

They eventually changed the calls to WEXY and flipped through several formats, running "Easy Listening," "Beautiful Music," "Solid Gold," and "Good Modern Music" (a mix of current hits and Golds) formats, and finally, back to country music.  For a time, the station ran a "Hit Parade" syndicated package produced by San Diego's Drake-Chenault programming team, which was designed for automated radio stations.

WEXY eventually lost their county audience to competition from the county formats on the stronger signals of 560 WQAM, and WIRK 107.9 FM, which began running country music in September 1973.  The audience erosion led to the station adopting a brokered black gospel talk and music format in 1976, similar in style to WSWN "Sugar 900" to the north in Belle Glade.

Domestic problems caused Jim and Juno Beattie to split in 1982. Following their divorce, Juno relocated to Melbourne, Florida. When Jim died from cancer in November 1988, he turned over the ownership of WEXY 1520 to Juno.  She returned the station to a full-time black gospel outlet by 1990.

In October 1989, WEXY received clearance to increase from 1,000 to 3,500 watts.

The 2000s

By 2003, Juno Beattie sold WEXY to MRBI Broadcasting, Inc. of New York City, which flipped the station to a Hispanic Christian Music and Talk format "The Voice of Hope" ("La Voz, de la Esperanza") while also running Asian-based sports broadcasts.

An eventual mid-2000s increase to 5,000 watts allowed the station to cover Dade, Broward, Southern Palm Beach Counties and Freeport in the Grand Bahamas. The station currently brands itself as "The Spirit of South Florida" with a mix of brokered black gospel church talk programs and black gospel music filling out its unsold airtime.

In 2015, the WEXY made the local news when the family of the stations' program director, Doug DeVos, became an alleged victim of a funeral home scam.

In late 2017, the bankrupt and long off the air WFLL 1400 AM (the old, iconic WFTL 1400) began duplexing (renting tower space and transmitter facilities) on one of two of WEXY's towers in Oakland Park, Florida. The City of Oakland Park maintains a manicured Dog Park around WEXY's main quad-post tower. WFLL 1400, an old James Crystal Radio property, is owned by Jorgensen Broadcasting, a radio brokerage firm.

Arthur William "Skinny" Graham Jr. (August 12, 1909 – July 10, 1967) was an American professional baseball player whose nine-season career included 21 games played as an outfielder and pinch hitter for the – Boston Red Sox. Born in Somerville, Massachusetts, he was listed as  tall and . He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.

Graham graduated from Bridgton Academy in Maine. Baseball Reference lists his pro career as beginning at age 24 in 1934 in the Red Sox' farm system with Reading of the New York–Pennsylvania League; a Society for American Baseball Research biography, however, dates his pro career to earlier in the 1930s in lower-level minor leagues. After hitting .331 in 1934 with 51 extra-base hits at Reading, he was promoted to Boston, batting .234 with 11 hits in 13 September games. He spent most of 1935 in the minors, returning to the Red Sox late in the season and hitting .300 (three for ten) in limited service.

All told, in 21 MLB games, he collected 14 hits, with two doubles, one triple, four runs batted in and three stolen bases. In 1936, Graham returned to the minor leagues for the rest of his pro career.

He died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at 57 in July 1967. One of his sons, Arthur III, played professional football for the Boston Patriots of the AFL from 1963 through 1968.

Styllou Pantopiou Christofi (; 1900 – 13 December 1954) was a Greek Cypriot woman hanged in Britain for murdering her daughter-in-law. She was the penultimate woman to be executed in Britain, followed in 1955 by Ruth Ellis.

Background
Styllou Christofi was born in Cyprus, then a British protectorate, to a Greek Cypriot family. She grew up in a small, isolated village and received no formal education. According to British historian and crime author Philip Jones, the insularity of Cypriot villages such as the one Christofi was from meant that personal disagreements and arguments among residents were seen as local matters, and could lead to "levels of behaviour or resolutions that the wider world might consider improper or unreasonable, but which to the village itself were seen as entirely acceptable". Christofi married and gave birth to a son, Stavros. Her husband was one of the poorest men in the village, and the family's income came from a tiny olive grove they owned.

In 1925, Christofi was arrested and charged with murdering her mother-in-law by ramming a lighted torch down her throat, after the two women had extensively bickered. According to varying accounts, she was either found not guilty, or the court found that she had been provoked to such an extent that a criminal penalty was inappropriate.

Her son Stavros later left the village for Nicosia to work as a waiter. In 1941, after saving up enough money, he moved to Britain, settled in London, and found a job as a wine waiter at Café de Paris, a prestigious nightclub on London's West End. He married Hella Bleicher, a German-born fashion model, and the couple had three children.

In 1953, Christofi came to London to reunite with Stavros, whom she had not seen for 12 years. She had trouble adapting to her new lifestyle, and began extensively arguing with her daughter-in-law. In particular, Christofi resented the fact that her grandchildren were being raised as typical English children with no regard for their Greek heritage. She would frequently criticise Hella's parenting and fly into tantrums. In July 1954, Stavros and Hella agreed that Christofi needed to leave. Hella planned to take the children on a visit to Germany, during which Stavros would try to persuade his mother to return to Cyprus. Christofi, who probably became aware of the plan, soon resolved to murder Hella so she could raise the children her own way.

Murder
On the evening of 29 July 1954, after Stavros had left for work and the children had been put to bed, Christofi went to the kitchen, where Hella was going about her chores, and knocked her unconscious with a blow to the back of the head with an ash pan from the boiler. She then strangled Hella to death with a scarf, removed the wedding ring from her finger, dragged the body into the back garden and attempted to cremate it by pouring paraffin over it and setting it on fire. The flames caught the attention of next-door neighbour John Young, who was passing by the house walking his dog. He saw Christofi burning Hella's body over the fence. However, he believed that the article being burnt was a mannequin, and seeing that Christofi was attending to the fire, believed there was no cause for alarm.

The fire soon got out of control, and Christofi, who spoke little English, ran into the street to raise the alarm. She eventually found help from a couple in a car parked outside a railway station, to whom she explained "Please come. Fire burning. Children sleeping". When they arrived, they called the fire brigade, who summoned the police after finding Hella's body in the garden.

Police opened an investigation, and found incriminating evidence against Christofi. Hella's body was found to show signs of strangulation, and hastily cleaned bloodstains and paraffin-soaked rags and newspapers were discovered on the kitchen floor. Furthermore, John Young, the neighbour who had witnessed Christofi setting the fire over what he had believed was a mannequin, soon came forward and told police what he had seen. Hella's wedding ring was also found to have been removed: it was later found in Christofi's bedroom, and Christofi could offer no reasonable explanation.

Trial and execution
Christofi was arrested on suspicion of murder. During her interrogation, she offered an explanation: "I wake up, smell burning, go downstairs. Hella burning. Throw water, touch her face. Not move. Run out, get help." Christofi was charged and remanded to HM Prison Holloway soon afterwards. Her trial began at the Old Bailey on 28 October 1954. Her counsel offered a defence of insanity but the jury rejected it. Christofi was found guilty and sentenced to death by Mr Justice Devlin. There was a limited campaign for clemency, but to no avail. Her executioner, Albert Pierrepoint claimed in his autobiography, Executioner: Pierrepoint,  that Christofi failed to attract much media attention or sympathy because, unlike the pretty Ruth Ellis, she was not glamorous. A "blonde night-club hostess" was much more alluring than "a grey-haired and bewildered grandmother who spoke no English." While in the condemned cell, she requested that a Greek Christian Orthodox cross be put on the wall of the execution chamber, which was granted. It remained there until the room was dismantled in 1967. She was also shunned by her son Stavros, who did not make any requests for clemency, and later said "I cannot find it in my heart to forgive my mother. The word 'mother' has become a mockery to me".

Christofi was hanged at Holloway Prison by Albert Pierrepoint and assistant Harry Allen on the morning of 13 December 1954. Pathologist Francis Camps examined the body.

Burial

The body of Christofi was buried in an unmarked grave within the walls of Holloway Prison, as was customary. In 1971, the prison underwent an extensive programme of rebuilding, during which the bodies of all the executed women were exhumed. With the exception of Ruth Ellis, the remains of the four other women executed at Holloway (i.e., Styllou Christofi, Edith Thompson, Amelia Sach and Annie Walters) were subsequently reburied in a single grave (plot 117) at Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey. The remains of Thompson were exhumed in 2018 and laid to rest in the grave of her mother and father in the City of London Cemetery.

The new grave (in plot 117) remained unmarked for over twenty years. It was acquired in the 1980s by René Weis and Audrey Russell, who had interviewed Avis Graydon (Edith Thompson's surviving sister) at length in the 1970s. On 13 November 1993, a grey granite memorial was placed on plot 117 and dedicated to the memory of the four women buried there. The grave and plot were formally consecrated by the Reverend Barry Arscott of St. Barnabas, Manor Park, the church in which Edith Thompson was married in January 1916. Edith Thompson's details appear prominently on the face of the tombstone, together with her epitaph: "Sleep on Beloved. Her death was a legal formality". The names of the other three women are inscribed around the edges of the tombstone.

In popular culture

Christofi was also featured in episode 3, season 11, of Deadly Women.

The case was re-examined in 2019 in episode 2 of series 2 of BBC One's Murder, Mystery and My Family. In it barristers Jeremy Dein and Sasha Wass re-investigated the case on behalf of her grandson, Pantopios (Toby) Christofis a.k.a. Tobias Christopher, hoping to prove her innocence. Although question marks were raised over Christofi's execution and mental health, insufficient evidence was uncovered to suggest her conviction should be overturned.

WRHC (1550 kHz) is an AM radio station with a Spanish language talk radio format, simulcasting WWFE.  Licensed to serve Coral Gables, Florida, United States, the station reaches the Miami metropolitan area.  The station is currently owned by Salem Media Group.

The station's name and broadcast callsign are an homage to the former Cuban radio network, RHC-Cadena Azul, which operated from 1939 until 1954.

Previously known as WRIZ until 1985, the station had a phased array of four radio towers in Stiltsville south of Key Biscayne from 1967 to 1990. Because salt water is highly conductive, it makes an excellent ground plane for signals in the mediumwave radio band, allowing the station to travel farther on the same power, although this station's purpose was to put a strong signal across Miami while minimizing its signal toward the Bahamas Islands and a station on 1540..  As with all medium-frequency stations, the towers themselves were mast radiators, connected to the transmitter shack via transmission lines, held in this case a few feet above the water line by pilings.

The 75th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron (75 EAS) is a provisional Air Force squadron. It was most recently activated in May 2014 in Djibouti, where it provides airlift support for Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa. It replaced the 52d Expeditionary Airlift Squadron. The 75th EAS is a deployed unit, made up of rotating Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard units, such as the 910th Airlift Wing, members of which comprised the squadron in May 2022.

The squadron was first activated as the 75th Ferrying Squadron in 1943 it transported cargo.  It was redesignated the 75th Transport Transition Squadron later that year and trained aircrews on transport aircraft until being disbanded the following year.

The 75th was reconstituted as the 75th Air Transport Squadron in 1952.  It operated heavy airlift aircraft, primarily in the Pacific area until 1993.

Prior to its conversion to provisional status it was last assigned to the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, where it operated C-9A Nightingale aircraft providing theater medical evacuation airlift in Europe until 2003.

History

World War II
Initially formed by Air Transport Command (ATC) in early 1943 at Homestead Army Air Base, Florida.  Manned primarily by contract civilian pilots, the mission of squadron was ferrying aircraft along the South Atlantic Air Transport Route through the Caribbean to Brazil; then to Africa and then to combat airfields in Europe, Middle East, India or Australia.   Redesignated as a training squadron in June 1943.   Provided transition training in a wide variety of aircraft to experienced military and civilian pilots prior to them being assigned to ferrying duty.   The squadron was disbanded at the end of March 1944 and its personnel and equipment were transferred to the 563d Army Air Forces Base Unit.

Cold War

The squadron was reactivated by Military Air Transport Service (MATS), June 1952 at Great Falls Air Force Base, Montana as the 75th Air Transport Squadron.   Its primary mission was to transport personnel, equipment and supplies to Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska and return to Great Falls.  When MATS ended operations at Great Falls, was transferred to Travis Air Force Base, California, continued Alaska support operations as well as flying airlift operations throughout the Pacific.   It flew routine flights to Japan, Hawaii, Alaska and other points in Asia, including transport flights to Indochina and Karachi in Pakistan.

It was the second squadron to receive Lockheed C-141A Starlifters in 1965. In 1966, the squadron was redesignated as the 75th Military Airlift Squadron (75 MAS). Along with the 44th Military Airlift Squadron, it primarily flew cargo and personnel to United States bases in South Vietnam and Thailand during the Vietnam War. In 1970 began transition to the larger Lockheed C-5A Galaxy airlifter, continuing its mission until the end of United States involvement in Vietnam in 1973.  After Vietnam, the squadron returned to normal peacetime operations throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, supporting United States initiatives throughout the world by airlifting passengers, equipment and materiel wherever needed.  The squadron briefly returned to combat duty in October 1983, when it supported combat operations in Grenada as part of Operation Urgent Fury and airlifted combat personnel to the island and assisted in the evacuation of American civilian medical students back to the United States. In December 1989, the squadron participated in Operation Just Cause, which ended the dictatorship of Panama's Gen. Manuel Noriega.

In August 1990, the 75th MAS provided strategic airlift in support of the massive coalition forces buildup in Southwest Asia prior to Operations Desert Shield; Operation Desert Storm and Operation Southern Watch. These operations helped contain the expansionist policies of Iraqi president Sadaam Hussein. In the wake of the 1991 Gulf War, the squadron also supported Operation Provide Comfort for Kurdish refugees for Kurdish refugees threatened by Iraqi forces. In November 1991, the squadron was redesignated the 75th Airlift Squadron (75 AS).

Aeromedical airlift

In 1993, the squadron transferred its C-5s to other units as part of a re-organization of airlift units and was reassigned to the United States Air Forces in Europe, being assigned C-9 Nightingale medical evacuation aircraft.    It became the primary medical evacuation squadron in USAFE, transporting medical emergencies to Ramstein Air Base and subsequently to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.   In 2003, squadron was inactivated.

Expeditionary operations
The squadron was converted to provisional status and redesignated the 75th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron (75 EAS).  In May 2014 it was activated when crews and planes of the 317th Airlift Group deployed to Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti.   The squadron supported Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa.  The unit mission included medical evacuations, disaster relief, humanitarian and airdrop operations.  Operations included movement of the East Africa Response Force to forward positions.
