The station still stands on its original site, and is a museum, and a private dwelling, it was an active station until the 1970's. The population of Miami is 500 in 2005 the town was the victim of mass street sign theft, a total of 44 were stolen just before Christmas day; total replacement cost was about $7000, it just so happened that same night a house fire was reported and no street signs were available for direction. Miami was also used in a controversial prank contest by a Winnipeg radio station in 1996, they ran a contest for an all expense paid trip to Miami to watch the Super Bowl, but did not mention they were referring to Miami, Manitoba and not the one in Florida, local media reported that some of the participants had considered lawsuits over the prank, because of the negative backlash the DJ who instigated it was dismissed.
