WQVN (1360 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station, licensed to North Miami and serving South Florida. It is owned by Nelson Voltaire, with the license held by Radio Piment Bouk. Programming is in the French Creole language, and is targeted at listeners from Haiti.

By day, WQVN is powered at 9,300 watts non-directional. But at night, to reduce interference to other stations on 1360 AM, it reduces power to 400 watts. The transmitter is on NE 71st Street in Miami.[2] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W272DS at 102.3 MHz.[3]
