WTHE (1520 AM "Radio Cantico Nuevo") is a radio station licensed to Mineola, New York, broadcasting a Spanish language Christian radio format. The station is owned by Cantico Nuevo Ministry Inc.[2]
WTHE broadcasts during daytime hours only, from local sunrise to sunset in order to protect WWKB in Buffalo, New York, a clear-channel station on the same frequency that can frequently be heard in the New York City area after dark.
The station went silent on January 25, 2018 after being evicted from their transmitter site and resumed broadcasting on January 15, 2019,[3] in order to keep the station's license from being cancelled and the call letters deleted by the FCC.
In February 2019, Cantico Nuevo Ministry filed a $200,000 deal to purchase WTHE from Universal Broadcasting of New York.[4]
