WZKO  WZKO (1350 AM) is a radio station licensed to Fort Myers, Florida, United States. It airs an urban adult contemporary format branded as "107.5 Jamz". On August 14, 1962, William H. Martin received the construction permit to establish a new radio station in Fort Myers, with the call letters WXYC. Martin sold the construction permit prior to going on air to Lee Broadcasting, which changed the call letters to WCAI before signing on August 22, 1964. The new daytime-only outlet broadcast middle-of-the-road music. Operations were threatened in 1967 when a city controlled burn operation went out of control and blew toward the station; WCAI remained on the air, but its tower, which had just been painted red that day, was colored black with ash. WCAI remained mostly unchanged through the 1970s aside from a format flip to country, though it gave its listeners a scare when a 1977 promotion announcing "the end of the station" for a weekend of classic country prompted so many phone calls that a telephone exchange was blown out. The next year, a disc jockey resigned after being implicated in a company that sold memberships in nonexistent department stores. There were several transfers of ownership in 1980 and 1981, resulting in the station being sold to Ercona South for $600,000. The principals of Lee Broadcasting had sold WCAI in order to pursue a new FM license on Estero Island, which they won and launched in 1983 as WQEZ. By 1984, WCAI was a talk station. In 1985, Charlie Frank reached an agreement to sell WCAI to Horizon Communications, which owned WQSA of Sarasota, for $700,000, with Horizon announcing plans to retain WCAI's talk programming. However, ratings surveys showed it dead last in the Fort Myers market of 12 stations, and in September, employee paychecks started bouncing as payment complications emerged in the sale to Horizon. The wheels came off in November, two weeks after former owners Truman Morris and Helen Pierce foreclosed on Horizon, when WCAI went silent while it searched for another new owner. Nine days after receiving authority to cease broadcasting from the Federal Communications Commission, WCAI filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation. One prospective bidder was Caloosa Television, which owned WEVU-TV in Naples. The only bid for WCAI, at $51,000, ultimately came from Roger Coleman, owner of a station in Galesburg, Illinois, after Caloosa withdrew its bid.
