WNYG (1440 AM, "Radio Cantico Nuevo") is a radio station licensed to Medford, New York and broadcasts a Spanish language Christian radio format.

History

{{original research|date=September 2018}}

Originally licensed to Babylon, New York, the 1440 frequency signed on the air on Sunday January 5, 1958 as WBAB with 500 watts daytime only.[1] Operated by Babylon-BayShore Broadcasting, the station initially played Jazz and featured a large news department as well as extensive community affairs programming.

WBAB (and its FM signal on 102.3) would dabble in Pop Music before becoming a Progressive Rock station by the late 1960s. By 1975, WBAB would change its calls to WNYG after adopting a Gospel music format. The companion FM station, which continued to play rock, was sold shortly after.[2]

In the 1980s, WNYG adopted an MOR (Middle of the Road) format called "14 Gold". Upon receiving nighttime authorization in 1987, WNYG dropped the 14 Gold format and became "Long Island's Good Time Oldies" on January 1, 1988. The playlist was tightened to focus on pre-Beatles Rock and Roll and Doo-Wop.

When cross-town rival WGLI flipped from Oldies to a simulcast of WADO in late 1989, WNYG began to add more 1960s records.

By the end of 1993, much of the weekday format had been replaced by Country music and the station unceremoniously dumped the remainder of the oldies format and staff and switched full time to Country music on April 18, 1994. The new format lasted but two months when an agreement was reached to sell WNYG to Bienvenida Broadcasting. The station switched to a Tex-Mex format that featured sporting events and news targeted towards the growing Hispanic population in the area.

Bienvenida Broadcasting ran into financial trouble and WNYG ceased operations in March 2000. A month later, a trustee was put into place during bankruptcy proceedings to ready the facility so a new owner could be found to satisfy creditors. During this time, the oldies format that ran from 1988-1994 returned with many of the staff giving the format a fitting sendoff. In June 2000, Multicultural Radio Broadcasting closed on their agreement to acquire the station.

After various brokered formats in its first year under Multicultural (including a short lived attempt to open the station up to high school and college students), the station was LMA'ed to Free-Indeed Broadcasting in 2002. A Contemporary Christian music format was installed.

On November 2, 2009, the agreement between Multicultural and Free-Indeed concluded and WNYG ceased broadcasting the eight-year-old Contemporary Christian format that had been branded "The Spirit of New York".

On May 26, 2010, Multicultural Radio Broadcasting sold the station to Radio Cantico Nuevo, Inc for $150,000. A stipulation of the sale was that WNYG could no longer operate from the Babylon facility as Multicultural sought to improve the signal of then co-owned WNSW, which was first adjacent to WNYG at 1430kHz.

On July 1, 2010, the station went silent.

On July 18, 2011, the station signed on in its new city of license, Medford, New York. The Medford location allowed Multicultural to make the desired facility upgrades to WNSW.

On June 28, 2012 WNYG was granted a U.S. Federal Communications Commission construction permit to add night operation with 196 watts using a directional antenna. Day operation will continue to be 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna.
