📖 About

La Exitosa 98.7FM is a bilingual and bicultural radio station serving New York City and the wider New York metropolitan tri-state area. Broadcasting on 98.7 FM as WEPN-FM and also simulcast on 1190 AM as WLIB, the station brings together English and Spanish music for bilingual Latino audiences across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Its programming focuses on the music listeners grew up with and still love, featuring English and Spanish hits from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, along with Latin pop, adult contemporary, salsa, bachata and rhythmic favorites. La Exitosa was launched by Emmis in January 2025 as a bilingual Adult Contemporary format designed to connect New York's diverse Latino communities through familiar music, Spanish-language presentation and community-focused programming. The station serves as a cultural and musical destination for listeners who enjoy a blend of classic English-language hits and popular Spanish-language songs, creating a distinctly bilingual New York radio experience.
