Jorge Seijo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jorge E. Seijo Figueroa (b. 1943) is a radio and television personality born in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico.
At the age of 16 Seijo started his radio career in nearby Manatí, Puerto Rico at local station WMNT-AM (1500 kHz). He studied a degree in Economics at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras and worked as a customer service liaison for Eastern Airlines before being drafted into the United States Army. He trained as a Green Beret in Fort Benning, Georgia and went on a tour of duty in the Vietnam War soon after.
After the war, Seijo rejoined the Army as a commissioned officer, stationed in Virginia, before returning to Puerto Rico. He assisted his wife in managing a family business while returning to radio, first as a news commentator in various local radio stations, then as a commentator and producer at WAPA-AM, also known as "WAPA Radio". Philosophical differences with the radio station owners made him switch to other radio stations before settling at WSKN-AM (1320 kHz).
Seijo also hosts two television programs, "Puerto Rico Matutino" and "Hora Siete", for WSJU-TV in San Juan.
