History

In the 1980s, it was known as 92-FM, airing a Top 40 format. Before 2006, WHHG (then WYNU) was owned by Clear Channel Communications. Forever Media (licensee Forever South) purchased WHHG and WOGY (then WTNV). It would be until 2014 before changes were due for the station. On April 1, Forever reformatted the station as "Classic Hits WYNU U92". In December 2017, the station switched formats back to Classic Rock as "92.3 The Hog". Soon after that in January 2018, the callsign WYNU that was part of the station since 1983 was ditched in favor of WHHG, to go along with the HOG brand.
