History

WCMN-FM was the first FM radio station to be licensed on the north of Puerto Rico. During most of its history it was called "Delta 107". [3] In February 2004, WCMN-FM was acquired by "Uno Radio Group". In May 2004, WCMN-FM changed its brand name from "107.3 Delta" to just "107.3" and added the "Toca De Tó" slogan which eventually became the new brand name.

In March 2007, Uno Radio Group officially acquired WMIO from Bestov Broadcasting (previously known as Audioactiva 102.3 FM) and chained it with WCMN-FM.

On January 9, 2009, MSG Radio Inc. acquired WIAC-FM and the Toca De Tó brand moved to 102.5 FM on January 16, 2009. Old Toca De Tó stations WCMN-FM 107.3 and WMIO 102.3 continue as "107.3 Mi Emisora" and not chained to WIAC-FM.

After 102.5 FM changed its name to HOT 102 in August 2011, 107.3 FM adopted again the brand "Toca De Tó" but as a slogan.

On October 9, 2012, WCMN-FM was sold to the HOT 102 brand and as of that very same day, the station acts as a re-transmitter for the HOT brand.
