Jorge E. Seijo Figueroa (born 1942) is a radio and television

a tour of duty in the Vietnam War soon after.Following the war, Seijo

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's owners made him switch to other radio stations
(WQII [11-QRadio]; Super Cadena) before settling at WSKN-AM (1320
kHz).For eleven years, Seijo hosted a program called Puerto Rico
Matutino (Morning Puerto Rico) and Hora Siete in WSJU (Canal 30) in
