1995- Sports is back in business on Orlando radio. 540 AM (WWZN) - or ''540 The Team'' - signed on Monday from the Citrus Bowl after a weekend of loopy sports jokes, song parodies and jingles. Beginning with and  in the mornings, it's a whole new ballgame. Former WGTO personalities were left looking for new jobs along with most of the seven staff members. Marc Daniels moved over from 740 AM (WWNZ) to take over afternoons at The Team, and he will be replaced on the news station by syndicated talker Gil Gross. . . . There was one survivor of the 540 AM raid: Paxson picked up Let's Talk Access, the disability issues talk show, for 740 AM (WWNZ). The six-month-old show will be airing from 10-11 a.m. Sundays beginning this weekend.
