WMNG (104.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Christiansted, U. S. Virgin Islands. The station is owned by Clara Communications Corporation. It airs a Classic Hits music format.[1]

The Federal Communications Commission assigned this station the call letters WAQW on February 7, 1997. This designation was short-lived as the station switched to the current WMNG call letters on September 26, 1997.[2]

[edit] Construction permit

WMNG is currently a class A station broadcasting with 6,000 Watts of effective radiated power in a non-directional pattern from an antenna 213 meters above the average terrain. On September 20, 2007 they applied to become a more powerful class B station broadcasting with 30,000 Watts of effective radiated power from a directional antenna 230 meters above the average terrain.[3] The proposed new pattern will protect Puerto Rico from interference by this station's broadcast signal.
