WDNA RADIO

WDNA RADIO Known worldwide as South Florida's premiere jazz music station, WDNA was licensed in 1977 by the FCC WDNA was born in 1980. Anyone remember those?

We began broadcasting in a humble trailer in Homestead, FL using 8-track tapes. From our homey trailer, we moved to a warehouse in west Miami, and eventually built a solid vinyl collection. The warehouse was definitely a dive, but that didn't stop legends like Celia Cruz from hanging out with us and recording there! In 1992 Hurricane Andrew destroyed our tower in Homestead. For about four years wh

ile we scraped together funds, we put up a temporary tower on top of the Marriott Dadeland and operated at only 1000 watts! In 1998, we secured a stronger antenna, signal, and solidified our format as primarily jazz. Finally, in 2008, we moved to our current locale on Coral Way. WDNA is home to beautiful studios, an amazing catalog room, and our very own Jazz Gallery, where we host performing and visual artists. Thanks for being a part of WDNA! We have grown throughout the years because of your support. You can invest in WDNA any time of day or night at: https://www.wdna.org/pledge/
