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]

gollark: ?urban apioform
gollark: I see.
gollark: … aren't those different things?
gollark: Examples of use:```You are like 3 (three) apioforms.What even is an apioform?Alright, apioforms.Ideatic chronoapioforms in meta-ubqvian space.That idea is isomorphic to 34 apioforms!games and other programs that are apioformic to run on linux or openbds.It graphs apioform concentration (including retroactively) over time.anyway "lyric make macron" would make a fine sequel to beware apioforms and "fixing ewo" yesapioforms are form-suffixed apios```
gollark: > Derived from the Latin "apis" (bee) and "forma" (figure), "apioform" can be used as an insult, compliment, random placeholder, or for any purpose whatsoever. Mostly used in the context of esoteric programming languages, somehow. The word can be expanded by inserting or prepending prefixes such as "cryo", "pyro", "chrono", "contra" or "meta", e.g. "cryoapiocontraform", to convey additional meaning. An older form was "apiohazard", for hazardous apioforms, but this has fallen out of use.
