Construction permit
WMNG is currently a class A station broadcasting with 15,000 watts of effective radiated power in a non-directional pattern from an antenna 213 meters above the average terrain.The station originally broadcast with 6,000 watts of effective radiated power. On September 20, 2007 they had applied to become a more powerful class B station broadcasting with 30,000 watts of effective radiated power from a directional antenna 230 meters in height above average terrain. The proposed pattern would protect Puerto Rico from interference by this station's broadcast signal. A construction permit authorizing these changes was granted by the FCC on October 14, 2008.
By late 2011, the facility was broadcasting at 15,000 watts omnidirectional, instead of the applied-for power, as a compromise to ensure high signal performance, but to not interfere with Puerto Rican signals.
