WPRU-LP, UHF analog channel 20, was a low-power ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The station was owned by the Caribbean Broadcasting Network.

History[]

The channel was launched in 2004.

The station did not provide their own local newscasts.

In September 2014, it was announced that ABC would move to WORA-TV on November 1 as a new subchannel.[1] In late 2019, the ABC affiliation moved to the main channel of WORA-DT, after Telemundo discontinued its WKAQ-TV repeater on WORA-TV.

The station has been silent since January 2014. From that point until the ABC affiliation ended, it continued broadcasting on channel 18.1 of sister station WSJP-LD. At some point on March 20, 2015, WSJP-LD removed its simulcast of WORA-DT2/ABC 5 from 18.1 and moved its third subchannel to 18.1 from 18.3 to replace it.

Caribbean Broadcasting Network surrendered WPRU-LP's license to the Federal Communications Commission on January 14, 2021, who cancelled it the same day.
