radio station broadcasting aSpanish News/Talk format. Licensed toMiami, Florida , USA, the station is currently owned byUnivision Communications .The station broadcasts at 50,000 watts around the clock from facilities near Pembroke Pines, but broadcasts on a directional beam to the south, to protect Class-A
clear channel stations WOR inNew York City and KIRO in Seattle. This, in consequence, gives the station a clear signal over the neighboring communist nation ofCuba . Because of the broadcast area over Cuba,Radio Martí broadcasts an hour of news on WAQI nightly from 12 Midnight to 1AM. However, its signal was reported of being jammed in that nation's capitol, Havana.
