WIPR (940 AM), branded on-air as WIPR 940 AM, is a public, non-commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, the station is owned by The Puerto Rico Public Broadcasting Corporation.
WIPR's audio signal had been simulcast on WIPR-TV channel 6.6 in San Juan & WIPM-TV channel 3.6 in Mayaguez, but was removed on March 20, 2017.
On November 18, 2020, WIPR was granted a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move to a new transmitter site and to decrease power to 3,000 watts day and 1,900 watts night but is still broadcasting at 10,000 watts fulltime.
