[edit] History
This station was formerly WPRV-TV. During part of the 1980s, the station was affiliated with ABC and in the late 80's and early 90's with Fox.
Since 2002, WORO leased its prime time hours to local producer Angelo Medina for his sport programming block branded as Deportes 13. During these hours, Deportes 13 transmit sport related programming and events such as MLB, National Basketball Association (NBA), Liga de Voleibol Superior Masculino among others. Currently the station is trasmiting all the home games of the Maratonistas de Coamo (Double A Baseball Club).
It was in lengthy discussion with Dish Network. When the station changed format, Dish gave up and dropped talks.
Singer, writer, producer Silverio Perez currently have a variety show called Buenas Noches con Silverio (Good Night with Silverio).
In August 2008, TeleOro announced that the station would develop a news program titled "Hora Informativa".[1] The production's goal is to cover local news as well as material that other channels consider "soft".[1] Segments are led by Luis Penchi and José Ángel Cordero, and covers controversial themes that might not be covered otherwise due to the station's religious focus.[1]

On February 17, 2009, WORO signed off its analog signal and completed its move to digital.
