The station is shared with translator station W268DJ 101.5 FM also in Ponce.

The station was relayed through two experimental synchronous stations on 1260 kHz; WI2XSO in Mayaguez and WI3XSO in Aguadilla. On April 19, 2017 the Federal Communications Commission ruled that these licenses will not be renewed. It stated that the stations must discontinue operation on May 7, 2017 and the licenses will be cancelled on May 8, 2017.[2][3][4]

A petition for review of the order to cancel the licenses of WI2XSO and WI3XSO was submitted on April 24, 2017.[5]
