1988
Editorial and management dispute
WSCV’s decision to air a presidential address concerning aid to the Contras was followed by conflict involving station leadership and the Telemundo network. After Julio Rumbaut’s resignation, engineers interrupted a segment prepared by Roberto Rodríguez Tejera about the departure, provoking staff anger and becoming a notable internal controversy.
1975
Bombings connected to WKID programming dispute
Two bombs exploded at WKID-related facilities in February 1975. A Cuban exile group claimed responsibility and objected to the station’s policy of rapprochement with communist Cuba in its Spanish-language programming. The incident occurred during a financially unstable period for the station and was followed by bankruptcy and relocation-related difficulties.
