WAPA (AM)

WAPA (680 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, broadcasting a news-talk format.

On March 14, 2017, after a year off the air due to transmitter problems, NotiRadio Broadcasting resumed operations of WVOZ 1580 AM in Morovis-Manatí, rejoining the WAPA Radio News Network, since its establishment, 35 years ago in 1981.

On May 1, WMIA became the new "WAPA Radio News Network" station, serving the northern area.

WAPA was the only radio station to remain on the air throughout the passage of Hurricane Maria on September 20, 2017.

WAPA's programming was reduced to 17 and a half hours from 4:45 AM until 9 PM, operating with a diesel generator, that some areas of the transmitters don't have electrical grid.

[3] Until 2017, WAPA's programming was relayed through an experimental synchronous booster station that also transmitted on 680 kHz: WA2XPA in Arecibo, which was originally licensed September 26, 2003.

[4] On November 7, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stated that the license for WA2XPA would only be renewed for six months, after which the station would be deleted.
