Located at 93.1 MHz, the station is owned by the Spanish Broadcasting System along with sister station 97.9 WSKQ-FM which features a Spanish-language Tropical format. WPAT-FM is licensed to Paterson, New Jersey and serves the New York City area. It has studios in Midtown Manhattan, and the transmitter is atop the Empire State Building.
WPAT-FM broadcasts in HD.
WPAT-FM signed on in 1957 with studios in Newark, New Jersey. It eventually moved to studios on Church Street in Paterson, and later moved to studios at the four-tower transmitter site of its AM sister station at that time, 930 WPAT (AM), at 1396 Broad Street in Clifton, New Jersey.
WPAT-AM and FM were purchased by Capital Cities Communications in 1961. In 1985, Capital Cities announced that it would buy ABC. As a result of Federal Communications Commission regulations at the time, the company decided to sell WPAT-AM-FM because ABC already owned 770 WABC and 95.5 WPLJ in New York City. The WPAT stations were sold to Park Communications.
