WNJE (1040 AM) is a sports radio station in Flemington, New Jersey serving Trenton, New Jersey which is owned and operated by Nassau Broadcasting Partners.

WNJE is an ESPN Radio affiliate simulcasting New York City radio station WEPN (1050).

Originally the station operated as WJHR ("Jersey Hometown Radio") with an adult contemporary format. It briefly broadcast a talk format called "Chat Radio" and had a short stint as an ESPN Radio affiliate before adopting the call letters and religious format of WCHR, which had been operating on 920 AM in Trenton, in 2002. On January 3, 2008, Nassau announced that 1040 would drop the religious format and switch to a full-time simulcast of WEPN.[1] Nassau moved the religious programming back to 920, which had been broadcasting as a Philadelphia-oriented ESPN Radio affiliate under the call letters WPHY.[2] On February 5, 2008, the station took the WNJE call sign.
