WSKN is a radio station on 1320 AM. WSKN serves San Juan, Puerto Rico and is owned by Media Power Group. The station carries a Spanish language news and talk format.

The callsign derives from their previous identification, Super Kadena Noticiosa, which was created on May 11, 1992, under the ownership of Radio Kadena Informativa Inc. The station was on frequency 630 AM. WUNO Notiuno bought them in 2000 and switched frequencies (Notiuno was on 1320 AM).

The station's news director is Luis Penchi, a Ponce-born radio journalist with over 25 years of broadcast experience. Upon being hired by WSKN, he transferred his highly-rated Saturday-morning news progframming from WIAC-AM, the Radio Puerto Rico network. The programming includes a weekly political debate panel with Senate President Kenneth McClintock, Senate PDP Minority Leader Jose Luis Dalmau and Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano (MINH) leader, Dr. Hector Pesquera, and the "Luis Penchi Entrevista" 90-minute news interview program.

During the week, Penchi has been able to attract many of the islands' top political analysts to its programming, including attorneys Benny Frankie Cerezo, Carlos Gallisa and Ignacio Rivera, as well as businessman-turned-political-figure Adolfo Krans, the former First Spouse during his former wife Sila Calderon's gubernatorial administration.

As a result, the station has been able to attract many of Puerto Rico's political 'cognoscenti' to its audience.

Ownership

In June 2003, Media Power Group Inc. (Eduardo R. Albino, chairman) reached an agreement to purchase four AM radio stations in Puerto Rico, including WSKN, from Arso Radio Corp. (Jesus M. Soto, owner) for a reported $6.8 million. [cite news |date=2003-06-09 |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA303503.html |work=Broadcasting & Cable |title=Changing Hands]
