What is "kwid"

KWID (101.9 FM) is a Spanish language radio station out of Las Vegas and the station is branded as 101.9 La Buena. Owned by Howard Kamelson, through licensee Lotus Broadcasting Corp., the station's studios are in the unincorporated community of Spring Valley in Clark County and its transmitter is on Black Mountain in Henderson.

This is a reassignment of a callsign. The original KWID was a shortwave radio station based in San Francisco, California, commissioned by the federal government in World War II to reach an international audience. It served as the basis for what later became the Voice of America.
