History of 94.5
94.5 in Trenton began on August 7, 1965, as WCHR-FM with a religious format. But after 33 years, that changed when Nassau Broadcasting bought the station. November 10, 1997, saw the beginning of things to come when WCHR began to simulcast on 920 AM in Trenton in preparation for a format change. On February 27, 1998, WCHR started stunting with construction sound effects, and on March 2, 1998, 94.5 became "New Jersey's Oldies Station." The WNJO calls were assigned on March 26, 1998. (Some time after that, the WCHR call sign was reassigned to 105.7 in Manahawkin, New Jersey).
On November 1, 2001, WNJO switched to a classic hits format as "94.5 The Hawk." Calls changed to WTHK on August 1, 2002 - and slowly evolved into a classic rock station. On February 14, 2005, at 5pm, 94.5 "switched" frequencies and formats with 97.5 WPST.
