WGHM

In the late 1990's and early 2000's the station flipped formats several times, including oldies, both on their own and simulcasting WMEX from Farmington, New Hampshire [http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2004/040809/nerw.html] . In 2004 the station carried Nashua Pride baseball games [http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3017866] . Previous to the simulcast with WGAM, the station held the WGAM calls and carried ESPN Radio, however the network changed to Fox Sports Radio in 2006 and Absolute moved the WGAM calls to the more powerful 1250 frequency. Previous to the ESPN format, the station's call letters were WSNH. Other call signs held are WMVU and WOTW.WGHM were originally the call letters of 1150 AM in Skowhegan, Maine (Currently WSKW).
