History

WCCV-TV began operations in 1982 as WATX-TV, and was an independent with local programming. It was owned by Bay Industries. In 1984, WATX-TV, became a satellite of WSJU (channel 18), later in 1987, to WRWR-TV (channel 30). On January 7, 1988, televangelist Yiye Avila bought WATX-TV for $40,000; the sale was completed on August 25, 1988. In 1989, WATX-TV changed its callsign to WCCV-TV and became a religious network known as La Cadena del Milagro.

WVSN

WVSN (channel 68) began operations on March 12, 1984, and was the first independent television station that broadcast music videos from the 60s, 70s & 80s based in Humacao. WVSN was owned by Radio Voz, until its closure on August 6, 1986. On October 30, 1986, WVSN resumed broadcasting, operating under the station general manager, Tito Atiles Natal, and was broadcasting music videos and local programming. In the 1990s, Yiye Avila bought WVSN for $20,000 and it became a repeater of WCCV-TV, La Cadena del Milagro. Currently, WVSN has its studios and offices located in Caparra Terrace in San Juan with its transmitter at Barrio Cubuy in Canovanas.
