WWFE (670 AM), known as "La Poderosa", is a commercial radio station in Miami, Florida, broadcasting to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. WWFE has a Spanish language talk radio format, with an emphasis on Cuban news and music. The radio studios and offices are on SW 27th Avenue in Miami.[2]
By day, WWFE is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations.[3] Because 670 AM is a United States clear channel frequency, WWFE must reduce nighttime power to 1,000 watts to prevent interference to the skywave signal of WSCR in Chicago, which is the principal Class A station on 670 AM. (The other Class A station on this frequency is KDLG in Dillingham, Alaska.)
WWFE broadcasts from a directional antenna at all times, with a six-tower array used at night.
In July 1989, WWFE signed on the air.[4]
Effective January 10, 2023, WWFE was purchased by Salem Media Group along with WWFE’s FM translator W276DV (103.1), WRHC (1550) and its FM translator W254DV (98.7).[5][6]
