COCOA, Fla. - July 24, 2015 - PRLog -- John Harper, president of WMEL 1300 Talk Radio on the AM radio dial, announced today that effective August 9^th  WMEL will be heard at WMEL 1060 Talk Radio, a 50,000 watt AM radio station.   The reach of the new 1060 numbers on the radio dial will cover all of East Central Florida and beyond.

         “This has been a dream of many of us at WMEL to go from a 5000 watt station to a 50,000 watt broadcast facility and now that dream has become reality,” Harper said adding, “With all the modern technology our studios will continue to remain at the present time in Cocoa.”  The station that was purchased is WICX AM, which is in Titusville.

         All WMEL personnel and on air staff will continue with the new operation.  Harper said additional radio station purchases are being negotiated.

         Harper originally took over as president of WMEL 920 in Melbourne 25 years ago and that station transformed into WMEL Talk Radio 1300 in Cocoa in 2007.  Both the 920 and 1300 numbers on the radio dial are 5000 watt stations.

         Harper has been in radio broadcasting for 50 years.  Both he and the radio stations he has been associated with have won numerous awards for broadcast excellence.
