By day, WEFL is powered at 3,000 watts. Because 760 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WJR Detroit, WEFL must reduce power at night to 1,500 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times, with a three-tower array. The transmitter is off Island Way in Jupiter, Florida, near the Florida Turnpike (Interstate 95).[2]

History edit

The station went on the air as WBDO on June 22, 1998.

On September 8, 2019, ESPN Deportes Radio flipped to TUDN Radio.[3]
