History

WIRA was first licensed September 18, 1946. The station changed its call sign to WYFX on November 1, 1996. On August 15, 1997, the WIRA call sign returned.
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. On February 13, 2024, WIRA went silent after it was found to be interfering with another nearby AM station.
