News, talk and music

WACA airs news, talk and music for the region's Spanish-speaking community, from current affairs to pop and rock.

The name

The station dates to 1964–65, when it began as WLMD. It was WILC from 1985 to 2018 and WCLM from 2018 to 2021 before becoming WACA — from the initials of its owner, Alejandro Carrasco, and (Radio) America.

A shared frequency

900 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear-channel frequency, so WACA's signal is focused on the Washington area.

For the community

The Washington region has a large and growing Latino community, and Radio America gives it news and conversation in Spanish.
