WAUC banned The Beatles!

Evidence of the Ban:

The Panama City News reported on August 6, 1966: "Other Florida stations participating in the Beatle ban are WAUC and WJOE of Port St. Joe, Florida." The Fort Pierce News Tribune on August 7, 1966 added that "At least three other stations dropped further Beatles programming. They are WONN, Lakeland; WDCF, Dade City, and WAUC, Wauchula.... WAUC said gospel music would replace Beatle discs on its programs."

The Associated Press (as printed in the Pensacola News Journal on August 17, 1966) updated reporting on WAUC's ban, "Owner Roy Plummer said he didn't think anything Lennon could offer in the way of apology would be sufficient."
