📖 About

La Raza 98.5 (operating under primary call sign WNJE 920 AM and FM translator W253DG on 98.5 MHz) is a commercial Regional Mexican radio station licensed to Trenton, New Jersey. Serving the greater Mercer County, Central Jersey, and Philadelphia metropolitan area, the station stands as a vital cultural broadcast outlet dedicated to the region's expanding Hispanic community. The primary 920 AM frequency originally signed on the air in 1942 under the call letters WTTM ("Trenton Makes, the World Takes") as an NBC Red Network affiliate. Over its multi-decade history, the station underwent notable format shifts, including stints as news/talk outlet WCHR and sports station New Jersey ESPN, before being acquired by The Voice Radio Network (The Voice Radio New Jersey, LLC). In August 2024, the station launched its Regional Mexican format under the popular "La Raza 98.5" branding. Programming on La Raza 98.5 is tailored directly to the music and culture of the Mexican diaspora and broader Spanish-speaking audience across Central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. The broadcast grid features a rich catalog of Banda, Norteño, Ranchera, Corridos, Mariachi, and Cumbia. Alongside non-stop Latin hits from premier recording acts like Grupo Firme, Christian Nodal, Banda MS, and El Fantasma, the station features interactive community talk, localized news updates, financial guidance, and cultural entertainment segments designed to support and inform the local community. Broadcasting from studios on Broad Street in Trenton, New Jersey, La Raza 98.5 transmits with 1,400 watts daytime power on 920 AM paired in full simulcast with FM translator W253DG operating at 98.5 FM. Owned and operated by The Voice Radio Network under founder and CEO Kevin Andrade, the station engages listeners terrestrially across the Delaware Valley and globally via digital streaming platforms, mobile apps, and its web portal at holamusica.com/station-wnje.
