KWBY (940 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Regional Mexican format. It is licensed to Woodburn, Oregon, and serves the Portland metropolitan area. It is owned by Bustos Media, through licensee Bustos Media Holdings, LLC.
By day, KWBY is powered at 10,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But to protect other stations on 940 AM from interference, at night it greatly reduces power to 200 watts. Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K227DU at 93.3 MHz in Salem.
