FM broadcasting is a method of radio broadcasting using frequency modulation (FM) technology. Invented in 1933 by American engineer Edwin Armstrong, wide-band FM is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM broadcasting, the chief competing radio broadcasting technology, so it is used for most music broadcasts. Theoretically wideband AM can offer equally good sound quality, provided the reception conditions are ideal. FM radio stations use the VHF frequencies. The term "FM band" describes the frequency band in a given country which is dedicated to FM broadcasting.
WQHH began broadcasting on May 26, 1991 with 3,000 watts. Power was increased to the present 6,000 watts in July, 2003.
In 2006, MacDonald Broadcasting purchased WQHH and sister station WXLA for $3.65 million. The studios were moved from DeWitt to Lansing at that time. MacDonald Broadcasting also replaced the local morning hosts with the Tom Joyner Show. In October 2008, the Rickey Smiley Morning Show took over the morning slot, replacing Tom Joyner. Beginning April 3, 2017, The Breakfast Club is now the morning show from 6-10am on weekdays.
