As of May 2015, WFNO, formerly known as "La Caliente 830am," was acquired from Sunburst Media by Crocodile Broadcasting, owners of KGLA La Tropical 1540AM-105.7FM, and rebranded it with its original name "La Fabulosa 830". It is a Spanish speaking formatted radio station serving the New Orleans, Louisiana area.

History

On February 22, 1985 the station signed on as WADU with an Adult Contemporary format targeting the western suburbs of New Orleans. It became a Spanish Contemporary outlet with the WFNO call letters on March 25, 1996.

For much of WFNO’s existence under the moniker “La Fabulosa 830,” programming was very general and centered around Regional Mexican and Tropical Music formats along with a variety of drive time programs that included local and international news updates. Other programming included sports talk programs airing in the afternoons, religious programming, public affairs programs, and radio news magazines that included news and reporting from CNN en Español.
