History
WJKL signed on in June 1968 as WKVM-FM. On July 25, 1978, WKVM-FM changed formats to rock as "Alfa Rock", the first FM with the format in Puerto Rico. The station was originally owned by American Colonial Broadcasting (a subsidiary of Pérez Perry Enterprises), which later was sold to Broadcasting & Programming Systems of Puerto Rico. In 1982, the station changed its call sign to WCAD.
Sale to Educational Media Foundation
On July 24, 2017, it was announced that the Educational Media Foundation was buying WCAD and its booster signals for $2.9 million. The station would be EMF's first located in a U.S. territory and would switch to the company's K-Love network. On September 20, 2017, WCAD went off the air due to the threat of Hurricane Maria across the island of Puerto Rico and the sale of the station to EMF was approved by the FCC, awaiting the consummation and would convert to a non-commercial educational radio station.
On March 3, 2018 at 12:06 a.m, Alfa Rock ended broadcasting after nearly 40 years as an album-oriented rock station. The final song on Alfa Rock was "The Perfectionist" by Saga.
