    WFNW (1380 KHz, "Rádio Press") is a radio station licensed to Naugatuck, Connecticut.[7] The station is owned by Candido Dias Carrelo. It airs a Portuguese contemporary radio format.[8] The station has been assigned the WFNW call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since February 13, 1989.[5]

    By day, WFNW is powered at 3,500 watts. At night, to avoid interference with other stations on 1380 AM, it reduces power to 350 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. Its transmitter is on Thunderbird Drive in Naugatuck.[9]
