WCAA, known on-air as 105.9 La Kalle, is a radio station licensed to Newark, New Jersey that airs in the New York City metropolitan area. Broadcasting at 105.9 FM, the station has a reggaeton format. It is the New York affiliate of Univision's La Kalle brand.

The station first came on the air in the 1960s as WHBI, which was originally owned by Hoyt Brothers Inc.. In the 1980s, the station - by then property of Multicultural Radio Broadcasting - went by the call letters WNWK, and aired leased-access ethnic programming.

In 1998, the station, under new ownership, started playing hit Spanish music as "Caliente 105.9", with the call letters WCAA. A year later, the station changed its slogan to "Latino Mix 105.9". In early 2004, the station's owner, Univision Communications bought the 92.7 FM frequency in Garden City, New York which was the home of WLIR-FM and made it a western Long Island simulcast of 105.9 under the call letters WZAA. Some criticized this move due to the fact that there are sections of the signal of 92.7 which overlap with the weak signal (in relation to other New York City stations) of 105.9.

On May 27, 2005, WCAA adapted its current reggaeton format. La Kalle means 'the street' but spelled with a K.

The station's HD2 station, which it was launched in 2006, airs the original "Caliente/Latino Mix" format (The Tropical music format).

In the summer of 2006, Univision launched the National Affiliates page for its "La Kalle" stations around the United States, the Mini-Page also includes Quick-Links to live audio streams of other La Kalle stations including this affillated station.

Also in mid-2006, the station adopted its current slogan "Yo Soy La Kalle!", Thus Replacing The "Reggaeton y Mas" Slogan From Its Format Change. The New Slogan Is Also Part Of A Nationwide Promotional Campaign That Univision Adopted For Most Of Its Other La Kalle Affiliates.

In late December 2006, The Station Dropped The "Yo Soy La Kalle" Slogan For Their Current Slogan "El Movimento Latino" (Or In English, "The Latino Movement".) And In February 2007, The La Activaeda Block And SUBELO Midday Mix Switched DJs, DJ Kazzanova Now Runs The 5 p.m. Mix Programming, And Station Resident DJ, DJ SpinOne, Mixes The Midday Mix, However, Some Of The DJs Are Still In The Station Mixing In Club Broadcasts and Mix Shows, Notably DJ Presice, Who Is Still Doing The Saturday "The Show" Block and DJ Rey-Mo Who Still Mixes On La Kalle 105.9 During Select Live Club mix Broadcasts.

On January 11, 2007 Univision dropped the La Kalle simulcast by flipping 92.7 WZAA to a Regional Mexican format. The station is now known as 92.7 Qué Buena. [1] 92.7 has been removed from the logo on La Kalle 105.9's website, however it is still mentioned on the site. The new 92.7 Qué Buena, apparently doesn't have a website yet.

And in a unprecedied decision by station execs on Mid-February 2007, the station started playing more of their old format than to just Reggaeton 24/7, some of the past month's schedule changes are to blame for this format mix-up. The station now airs a mix of Bachata and Salsa, with Reggaeton to still be a primary format. These changes had no effect on the mix shows, but DJ Kazzanova plays some Bachata/Salsa sometimes during his mix shifts. (not SUBELO Reggeaton Radio, his syndicated Reggaeton show airing on this station.) Also, in a recent TV advertisement spot, the new format mix was shown when one of the Bachata songs were shown in the ad.
