WFAW was an AM radio station in Miami, Florida, licensed to The Miami Daily Metropolis newspaper. According to government records, the station—the fifth Florida radio broadcasting station—was first licensed on June 16, 1922, and was deleted on June 11, 1923. However, Fred W. Borton later claimed that WFAW had actually been first licensed to him in February 1921, and moreover, instead of being discontinued, should be considered to be the direct predecessor to another Miami station, WQAM, making WQAM "the first broadcasting station to be established in Florida".[1]
