In 1995, the station began operations as W59CW, operating on channel 59. From 1995 to 1999, it was owned by Fajardo TV Group. From 1999 to 2003, the station was owned by the late Frederick Gauthier De Castro, changed its channel position to channel 42, its call letters to WREY-LP, later WSEX-LP and at that time was broadcast local and regional programming.

In 2003, channel 42 changed call sign to WIVE-LP and became a satellite of WTCV. On February 15, 2007, WIVE-LP was forced off the air due to financial and technical difficulties. On July 7, 2008, after nearly one year off the air, WIVE-LP resumed broadcasting.

On September 11, 2014, after WTCV and its stations switched to Mega TV, WIVE-LP switched to TCV Music Network and broadcast music videos full-time; it was the only low power analog television station in continuous operation in Puerto Rico. On November 1, 2018, after one year off the air, WIVE-LP resumed operations and rebranded as Mix TV, a TV channel that broadcasts music videos and shares programming with radio station Mix 107.7 FM.

On November 15, 2019, the station changed its callsign to WSJU-LP, which was formerly used the call letters for full-power WSJU-TV (channel 31) until September 2017. On July 1, 2021, WSJU-LP changed its branding to Fresh HD; it continued broadcasting music videos but with an American CHR format. On July 14, 2021, the station was licensed for digital operation and changed its callsign to WSJU-LD.
