Tampa Times

The Tampa Times, or Tampa Daily Times, was a daily newspaper founded in Tampa, Florida, in 1893. It was started by the consolidation of two newspapers by the Tampa Publishing Company, whose vice president was W. B. Henderson, a leading businessperson in Tampa. D.B. McKay was the publisher. The newspaper was an early leader in broadcasting, first putting WDAE 1250 AM on the air in 1922 (now on 620 AM). Then in 1947, an FM station was added, WDAE-FM 105.7 (now WMTX 100.7 FM). Also in the late 1940s, the company applied for a broadcast television station license and was denied.
