More Puerto Rico call swaps

Once again, NotiRadio Broadcasting has swapped call signs among several of their stations (two years after the last round of swaps), which will require complicated page moves:

The station at 680 kHz in San Juan (facility ID 8889), which had been WBQN the past few years, is now WAPA again, following an October 11 call swap.
The station at 1260 kHz in Ponce (facility ID 61147), which had become the new WAPA (AM) after the dust settled in 2022, became WBQN in the above swap, but is now WVOZ following another call swap on October 18.
The station at 1580 kHz in Aguadilla (facility ID 72452), which had been WVOZ (AM) since 2016 (well before any of the earlier swaps), wound up as the latest WBQN with the October 18 swap.

As you were the one to perform the necessary page moves in 2022, which followed various subsequently-reverted cut-and-paste moves by IPs, I figured I'd run this by you as well (particularly as the IP C&P moves happened yet again). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wcquidditch The articles have all been moved with round-robin swaps. All links and hatnotes need appropriate adjustment. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:56, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Wehwalt; I think it's important to put how badly their news was rating post-NBC switch. It basically drove the entire arc of station history for half a decade and occupies substantial space in the article. The revamped blurb looks good.
