Everglades Radio Network was a network oftravelers' information stations serving the Alligator Alley segment ofInterstate 75 in theEverglades region ofFlorida. Owned by theFlorida Department of Transportation and jointly programmed by the FDOT and theFlorida Department of Environmental Protection, the network was based atFlorida Gulf Coast University inFt. Myers. It consisted of two low-power FM radio stations,WFLP-LP 98.7FM, licensed to theCollier County Rest Area (near Mile Marker 63) andWFLU-LP 107.9 FM inMiles City (Exit 80,State Road 29).
