History

WXXS has been owned and operated by Barry P. Lunderville since May 1998. WXXS was the first station he purchased. In early 2008, Lunderville founded Radio New England Broadcasting, LLC. [3] In August 1997, a construction permit to build a Class A radio station in Lancaster, New Hampshire was obtained. First signing on in late 1997 as WNHT with an adult contemporary/country format at 700 watts, the station soon boosted their power to 1,500 watts. On January 30, 1998, the calls were switched to WXXS. [4] WXXS would later obtain Class C3 status from their previous Class A. Around the time of their power upgrade, WXXS switched to its current CHR/full-service format. From August 2009 to summer 2010 WKDR in Berlin simulcasted WXXS. In the summer of 2010 WKDR became a simulcast of WOTX and currently, WXXS is simulcast on WMOU in Berlin except WXXS does not carry local sports of WMOU and WMOU simulcasts WLTN-FM's morning show.

Translators

In addition to the main station, WXXS is relayed by several translators.
