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

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.
