WPRU-LP (channel 20) was a low-power television station in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, affiliated with ABC and owned by the Caribbean Broadcasting Network.

History

The channel was launched in 2004.

The station did not produce its own local newscasts.

In September 2014, it was announced that ABC would move to WORA-TV on November 1 as a new subchannel.^[2] 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.
