History
WWHC began as a simulcast of sister station WMSG-AM in 1966. WMSG split from the simulcast in 1978 and became WXIE-FM. The first format on WXIE was a soft adult contemporary format. In 1991, WXIE moved from 92.1 to 92.3 and became "92X" and began running a classic hits format. WXIE went dark in 1994.
In 1995, the frequency was acquired by Oakland Media Group, changed call letters to WWHC and began playing Country with the branding "Hot Country 92". Around 2000, 92.3 went through another name change, switching to "The Train" in reference to the railroad heritage that is found all over the region it serves.
WWHC airs local news seven days per week, and broadcasts football and boys and girls basketball featuring Southern and Northern Garrett County High Schools. Paul Mullan serves as station operations manager.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
