History[edit]

WNRT-FM was founded in 1971 by Mr. Pedro Collazo and Mr. Efrain Archilla under the call sign WMLD-FM and the branding name "Radio Melodia". In 1982, WMLD-FM then known as "Ritmo 96.9 FM was acquired along with its sister station WMNT-AM, then known as "Radio Atenas 1500 AM" by La Voz Evangelica de Puerto Rico, Inc. WMLD-FM immediately became "Radio Triunfo" and WMNT-AM became "Radio Aleluya", both with a christian format. Some years later, La Voz Evangelica de Puerto Rico, Inc., returned WMNT-AM to Mr. Pedro Collazo, who changed its brand name again to "Radio Atenas 1500 AM" and its programming to its old format, while WMLD-FM remained owned by La Voz Evangélica de Puerto Rico, Inc. and changed later its call sign to WNRT-FM. Actually "Triunfo 96.9 FM" is one of the christian stations with greatest coverage on the island and its programming mixes music and talk shows with christian messages.
