WEUS History
The
Big 810 WEUS signed on January 21, 2006 and is airing Scott
Shannon's True Oldies format which has a variety
of music from the
1950's thru the early 1970's. To
provide a better signal, they installed four radio towers on a parcel near
Princeton Street and Mercy Drive. In addition, they got approval to raise the
station's output from 1,000 watts to a daytime power of 100,000 watts, creating
a signal that reaches into Brevard, Osceola and Volusia counties. They
plan to hire local
on-air talent, after slowly establishing a presence with Shannon's patter and
music from New York. They
leased offices in downtown Orlando in the Lou Pearlman's Transcontinental
Building near Church Street with plans to locate there.
They have invested "several million dollars" in the best equipment, says Carl Tutera. That includes broadcasting in HD Radio, a new technology that provides comparable quality on AM and FM. Receivers are available, at a much higher price than regular radio. The new equipment, in addition to providing clearer signals, is interactive. It can text-broadcast song titles and artists' information and allows a listener to ask for more information.
