 WYOO (NewsTalk 101.1) in Panama City, FL |
JVC Broadcasting's WYOO (NewsTalk 101.1) in Panama City, FL will officially join the Florida Man Radio Network on Monday, August 4, extending the network's reach across the Florida Panhandle. With this move, WYOO will adopt the Florida Man Radio lineup, including talk personalities Shannon Burke and Bubba the Love Sponge. In addition, Panama City's own Brian Rust will take on the 9am-12pm slot, bringing a familiar local voice to the regional network.
"This is more than a format flip; it's a statement," said John Caracciolo, CEO of JVC Broadcasting. "By bringing WYOO into the Florida Man Radio Network, we've created a single, dominant talk radio platform that spans from Pensacola through Panama City and beyond."
The Florida Man Radio Network's expansion to two connected signals will now blanket over 450,000 residents across Gulf Coast and inland Panhandle communities, combining urban and rural audiences under one brand. The network emphasizes its appeal to politically engaged, conservative listeners across the region.
"This region is passionate about strong, local voices -- and now they're getting the best of both worlds," said John Griffo, Market Manager for JVC Broadcasting. "With Shannon Burke and Bubba bringing their unique edge, and Brian Rust joining the network, we are giving the Panhandle a talk radio lineup that's unstoppable."
Griffo also hinted at additional programming changes on the horizon, saying, "That's before we make the big announcement coming soon to the lineup."
The updated Florida Man Radio Network schedule on 101.1 WYOO includes Bubba the Love Sponge in mornings, Brian Rust from 9am-noon, Markley Van Camp and Robins fron noon-3pm and Shannon Burke from 3-6pm.
