WQAM (560 AM, "AM 560 Sports") is a commercial radio station in Miami, Florida. It broadcasts a sports radio format and is owned by Audacy, Inc. The studios are in Audacy's Miami office on Northeast Second Avenue.[3] Weekdays on WQAM begin with The Joe Rose Show, hosted by the former Miami Dolphins tight end. He's followed by Tobin & Leroy (Brendan Tobin and Leroy Hoard). In afternoon drive time, Hochman & Crowder (Marc Hochman and Channing Crowder) are heard. Nights and weekends feature syndicated shows from Infinity Sports Network and the BetQL Network.
By day, WQAM broadcasts at 4,100 watts. But to protect other stations on 560 AM from interference, at night power is reduced to 1,000 watts. The station uses a non-directional antenna. The transmitter site is on NE 71st Street near NE 4th Avenue in the Little River neighborhood of Miami.[4]
