WMYP (98.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Frederiksted, U.S. Virgin Islands. The station is owned by Amanda Friedman. It airs a Spanish/Tropical/Variety format.[1]
The Federal Communications Commission assigned the WPPD call letters to this station on April 27, 1998. This call sign was short-lived as the station switched to WREY on March 1, 1999, then switched again to the current WMYP call letters on December 3, 1999.[2]
In July 2006, Amanda Friedman agreed to buy WMYP from Juan Padin and Jose Martinez (dba J&J Broadcasters) for a reported $350,000.[3] Friedman is the wife of Jonathan K. Cohen who owns several other radio stations in the U.S. Virgin Islands.[4]
