History
On March 7, 1997, WRUA channel 34 started broadcasting religious programming. WRUA was owned by Damarys de Jesus, who serves as a general manager. In 2000, WRUA is sold to Eastern Television Corporation for $40,000, and joining the Telecadena ECN religious network, as satellite of WECN.
From 2006 to 2007, WRUA operated as a standard independent station, using the Citytv branding, under license from CHUM Limited – it was the first Citytv franchise on American soil. Rogers Media discontinued the licensing for WRUA, after its acquisition of Citytv, and the station formerly serves as a translator for WECN.
Both prior to its time as Citytv and after, WRUA was and still is a religious station.
WECN & WRUA forces to shut down on October 22, 2014, due to financial reasons. as of 2015, WECN is Silent, and its sale is pending to the new officers & directors, under Único TV Media for $1.9 million. On March 1, 2015; WRUA returns to the air, and will become a Satellite of WVQS-LD, repeating Telemicro Internacional on Channel 33.1 & The Retro Channel on 33.2. On April 17, WRUA will become a full-time Locally owned Independent station, broadcasting Retro Music Videos on channel 33.1, just before WVQS-LD moves CTNi to 50.1 & Telemicro Internacional to WSJU-TV channel 31.1.
On August 10, 2015, WRUA moves its frequency from 33.1 to channel 8.1, becoming a satellite of WWXY-LD, as part of the Tiva TV Network.
On October 27, 2015, WRUA will sell $1,000,000 to Grupo TIVA (Dr. Norman Gonzalez, president, Edwin Gonzalez, general manager), the owners of WWXY-LD, marking its move to low-power channel 38, and will become the first full-power VHF O&O television station to be owned by TIVA. The sale was completed on December 7, 2015.
