WHGB

WHGB (1400 AM, "95.3 Nash Icon") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it serves the greater Harrisburg metropolitan area. It broadcast under the call sign WFEC for many years. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Media.

History

The station was first assigned the call sign WHGB when it signed on in 1945. It became WFEC (for owner Florida East Coast broadcasting its then owner) in 1963 featuring a Top 40 format. In 1982 owned by Great Scott Broadcasting after a series of failed country, disco and urban formats (beginning in 1977), it returned to Top 40 and adopted the Mike Joseph format called Hot Hits in response to the success of WCAU-FM in Philadelphia with that approach. Although WFEC featured the basics of the Hot Hits format to the letter, it was not consulted by Joseph himself. During the Hot Hits era, the station was known as Fire 14. On February 3, 1983, the station changed its call sign back to WHGB. For much of the 80s it featured Al Ham's "The Music of Your Life" pop standards format along with substantial local sports play by play.

Passion (Kreesha Turner album)

Passion is the first album by the Canadian singer Kreesha Turner. It was released on August 12, 2008, in Canada and was released in early 2009 in the United States.Passion had been available for advanced streaming on MuchMusic.com. a week earlier.Passion was released in the US in early 2009.

In early August, 2008, the album was leaked onto MTV Canada's The Leak on its official website.

Initially, on the back of the album, track 14 was listed as the "Bounce With Me (Rhythm Mix)" but this was an error and the track is actually the "Don't Call Me Baby (Rhythm Mix)". This error on the back cover was corrected on later pressings of the album.

Although Turner originally signed in the US to Virgin Records, a Capitol Music Group label, her first American release will instead be shifted to the Capitol Records imprint, also within the Capitol Music Group umbrella. This will keep a consistency with her Canadian releases under EMI Music Canada which utilize the Capitol Records imprint and are copyrighted by Capitol Records, LLC.
