Its transmitter is located at Cerro La Santa in Cayey near the Bosque Estatal de Carite mountain reserve.

Much of WIPR's programming is in Spanish, as with most Puerto Rico television stations. The station is branded as WIPR Television. Previously, the station was branded as Teve 6 / Teve 3, TUTV - Tu Universo Televisión, and Puerto Rico TV.
