    Public license information

  • LMS
  • WIRA (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting Latin-American music.[2] Licensed to Fort Pierce, Florida, United States, the station serves the Vero Beach area, but also reaches to Sebastian, Florida.[3] The station is owned by Carline Clerge, through licensee Caribbean Media Group, Inc.[4] In addition, this radio station is also popularly known as "La Nueva" and is re-transmitted on FM translator W285FN (104.9) in Port St. Lucie.[2]

    History

    [edit]

    WIRA was first licensed September 18, 1946.[5] The station changed its call sign to WYFX on November 1, 1996. On August 15, 1997, the WIRA call sign returned.[6]

    Following divorce proceedings involving Caribbean Media Group's principals, the company filed to transfer WIRA and WPOM to Sugar Broadcasting, owner of WSWN, in November 2023.[7] On February 13, 2024, WIRA went silent after it was found to be interfering with another nearby AM station.[8]
