WESTON COMMUNITY RADIO
For City of Weston Events & Information, Traffic
and Emergency Notification Transmissions

Weston residents, businesses and visitors can tune their car radios to 1680 AM for up to the minute information on city events, programs, registrations, street closures, and athletic field closings. In the event of an emergency – all broadcasts will be interrupted and emergency notification information will be provided during events such as a water main break, hurricane or other crisis where information and/or directions regarding emergency procedures are necessary. The station has a battery backup in the case of power outage.

WPUV, 1680AM began broadcasting in October 2002 on a short-range, low frequency radio station that is available to governmental entities through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The license with the FCC forbids the selling of advertising and restricts announcements on the Travelers Information Station to transmission of only noncommercial voice information. We are not permitted to identify the commercial name of any business establishment whose service is available within or outside the coverage area.

The broadcast information is recorded onto a 14 minute continuous loop. Information is updated via phone line daily from the Office of Communications and can be changed on a moments notice. The information provided on 1680AM includes Community Center class offerings, city events, upcoming holiday notices and seasonal safety tips, bulk trash collection days, travel information regarding street construction, field closures, athletic league registrations, senior bus trips, city meetings and announcements and more.

The City of Weston provides Weston Community Radio as part of a layer of media offerings to complement one another in order to offer our residents and visitors easy access to city public information.
