History

The station originally signed on the air by Commonwealth Broadcasting as WLMK in 1991. [3] In 1993, the station changed its call letters to WXPC, before eventually moving to WHHT in 1998. [4]

Prior to 2005, WHHT broadcast a variety hits format as Sam FM, airing the syndicated network S.A.M.: Simply About Music from Westwood One. That year, the Sam FM format moved to Brownsville-licensed WKLX (100.7 FM). [5] In 2008, WHHT broadcast a hot adult contemporary format under the branding Star FM. That year, upgrades at Cumulus Media–owned WNFN (106.7 FM) in the Nashville metropolitan area resulted in WHHT shifting to 106.5 MHz. [6]

In October 2012, Commonwealth Broadcasting instituted a major three-way format change. WHHT upgraded its signal in a move to 106.3 MHz. The station obtained the WOVO callsign and adult contemporary format from 105.3 FM, which became classic rock WPTQ. The station's previous country music format went to the rechristened WHHT at 103.7 FM. [7]
