WRFB (channel 5), branded ABC Puerto Rico, is a television station licensed to Carolina, serving the San Juan area as an affiliate of ABC. It is a full-time satellite of Mayagüez-licensed WORA-TV (channel 5) which is owned by Telecinco Media Holdings. WRFB's transmitter is located on Cerro Marquesa in Aguas Buenas; its parent station maintains studios on Ponce de León Avenue in Santurce, with additional studios at the Guanajibo Building in Mayagüez.
Sale to Telecinco
On June 15, 2017, WRFB sold for over $600,000 to Telecinco, Inc. through subsidiary ERA International Corporation, and after the transaction with a $30,000 deposit had been made by the buyer, this became a sister station of WORA-TV in Mayagüez. WRFB was to be used to bring ABC network programming as a satellite of WORA-DT2, and TVE programming from VIVE/WORA-DT3, expanding the coverage area. The sale of WRFB to Telecinco was completed on October 22, 2017.
Due to the passage of Hurricane Maria, WRFB went off the air on September 20. WRFB returned to the air for a brief period of testing, then went silent once again on August 19, 2018. After months off the air, the station returned to the air on February 22, 2019 as a repeater for WORA-TV and switched its virtual channel position from channel 51 to channel 5.
