What local radio or television stations cover launches from the Cape?
WMFE, 90.7 FM, will carry coverage of the launch about 5 minutes before launch. WMMB on 1240 AM comes in from Melbourne or 1350 AM from Cocoa, but you'll need the outdoor antenna on your car radio to pick it up. WMEL 1300 AM prides itself on "Compete Coverage" of space shuttle launches. The advantage is that WMEL has audio for unmanned launches as well as manned Shuttle flights. Local TV stations, Channel 2, Channel 6, & Channel 9, all carry the launch live starting about 3 to 5 minutes before launch. TV Coverage will usually end shortly after the Solid Rocket Boosters drop off the Space Transportation System about 2 minutes after launch.
