“Pirate” Prevails, Opens Spanish Station - New Haven, Connecticut

Spanish-language radio has returned to the airwaves of New Haven after a seven-year absence, thanks to this crusader for community control of the airwaves.

Hipolito Cuevas (pictured above) is the operations manager of a new low-power radio station called Super Max WEPA Radio. It’s at 1700 on the AM dial. Unlike his immediately previous effort to bring news, public affairs and music programming to New Haven’s Latino community, this one is legal. He held a public event Monday celebrating the station’s launch at its 129 Church St. studio.”*
