WONQ History
WONQ was founded by a Puerto Rican radio engineer named George Arroyo.  Arroyo who had been thinking the Orlando area would be a choice market since he first visited the city in 1981. By September of 1984, Arroyo and his wife, Esperanza, had moved to Orlando and received permission from the FCC for a licensed facility. George has worked as an engineer at a Spanish-language station in New York City and at stations in Puerto Rico. He later bought two stations in Puerto Rico and invested in other stations in the Virgin Islands. WONQ's 4,500-watt signal (which originates from a transmitter on Dean Road in east Orlando) reaches as far as DeLand, Melbourne, Winter Haven and Cocoa Beach.
