WSWN (900 AM) was a radio station that broadcast a talk-show format branded as "Talk of the Palm Beaches." It was better known in the South Florida and Treasure Coast areas as "Sugar 900," named after the surrounding sugar cane industry in the Belle Glade and Pahokee areas. The station was licensed to serve 18 counties across South Florida, the United States, and the Caribbean.[2]
The station was last owned by Sylna Leger-Brazile, through licensee Sugar Broadcasting, Inc. By day, WSWN broadcast at 1,000 watts. At night, the station reduced power to 22 watts to avoid interference as 900 AM is a Mexican/Canadian Clear Channel Frequency reserved for XEW Mexico City and CKBI Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
