History

WHNF and WMGM-FM

100.3 began as WHNF (for WHN FM) in the early 1940s broadcasting on 46.3 mc, which played easy listening music which was co-owned with 1050 WHN (frequency now occupied by WEPN, now WFAN on 660 AM). After WHN changed their call letters to WMGM in 1948, WHNF, by this time now broadcasting on 100.3, followed suit by changing their call letters to WMGM-FM. That station shut down in February 1955 and its owners turned the license over to the FCC.
