WIRA (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting Latin-American music.[3] Licensed to Fort Pierce, Florida, United States, the station serves the Vero Beach area, but also reaches to Sebastian, Florida.[4] The station is owned by Carline Clerge, through licensee Caribbean Media Group, Inc.[5] In addition, this radio station is also popularly known as "Script error: No such module "Lang"." and is re-transmitted on FM translator W285FN (104.9) in Port St. Lucie.[3]
History
WIRA was first licensed on September 18, 1946.[6] The station changed its call sign to WYFX on November 1, 1996. On August 15, 1997, the WIRA call sign returned.[7]
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.[8] On February 13, 2024, WIRA went silent after it was found to be interfering with another nearby AM station.[9]
