Logo as an adult contemporary station

In August 2013, Gamma Broadcasting reached a deal to sell its Berkshire County radio stations, including WNAW, to Reed Miami Holdings; [4] the sale was canceled on December 30, 2013. [5] In October 2016, Gamma agreed to sell its stations to Galaxy Communications; [6] that sale also fell through, and in 2017 the stations were acquired by Townsquare Media. [7]

On March 1, 2021, WNAW changed its format from adult contemporary to country, branded as "New Country 94.7" (reflecting its simulcast on FM translator W234DD 94.7). [8]
