WNUE-FM 98.1 lost its signal Monday afternoon due to a thief cutting off valuable copper tubing from their tower in Oak Hill. As soon as Volusia County Sheriff's Deputies got the call they responded to the scene and with the help of an Oak Hill Police Department officer stopped a man driving away from the tower. He didn't have the copper in his truck, but tools, gloves and a paint smear on his arm eventually did him in. Brian Benson admitted to taking the tubing and told deputies where the stolen metal could be found. Benson was arrested and booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach. Thieves had targeted that site twice before this year, once in January and once in March.

Entravision Spanish CHR “Mega 98.1” WNUE-FM 98.1 has let go of its on-air staff and has begun stunting with a loop of Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad”. The station is advising listeners to tune in on Wednesday at 3:00pm. WNUE has fallen far behind Clear Channel’s “Rumba 100.3” WRUM-FM 100.3 in the battle between Orlando’s two Spanish language stations. 98.1 has the additional deficit of being a rim-shot licensed to Titusville, FL with its tower right along the Atlantic coast. Entravision also operates Univision affiliate WVEN-TV and Telefutura affiliate WOTF-DT Channel 43 in the Orlando/Daytona Beach market.

In 2011 WNUE's city of license was changed to Deltona

WNUE-FM 98.1 has in fact become "Salsa 98.1". Entravision Radio President Jeff Liberman said in a statement; "We understood the need for an all-tropical format and, with Orlando being one of the fastest growing Hispanic markets in the U.S., we are committed to providing listeners with this highly in-demand tropical music on Salsa 98.1 FM."
