After Hurricane Wilma, and the problems of getting out to the public correct information, the City Manager proposed obtaining a radio station for the city. Now, 8 months later, Lauderhill has obtain a license for a low wattage radio station. The call letters are WQFF and is being broadcasted on 1650 AM, 24 hours a day.
The station is broadcasting continuous information about activities and emergency preparations in the city, repeating itself every few minutes. Additionally, Commission Meetings and other events will be broadcasted live. During times of a State of Emergency, the station will broadcast emergency information related to the City of Lauderhill. This will be in addition to other forms of communication, Emergency E-Mail Notifications, signs , TV and flyers.
The station covers the entire city, and has been heard as far as Coral Springs. However, because of the low wattage, reception may not be available inside buildings with thick construction.
