History of WOOO
The original location of WOOO-AM 1310 was 112 1/2 West New York Ave.
Mr. Brian Tolby, the former owner of WSBB-AM 1230 in New Smyrna Beach, solved a "radio mystery" for me about some of the stations in Deland. Here is some of that email. "...I worked there (WOOO) through (my) graduation at Stetson (University in Deland) and bought it (the station) in l960 under the corporate name Shom Broadcasting, Inc. When it went on the air it was 500 watts. Went to 1,000 (watts) in 1961 and to 5,000 watts in '62. It remained as WOOO until I sold it to Tom Joyner from Texas, in l975 when the call letters changed to WKKX. In that same building...where WYND is today was WDLF-FM 105.9..."
