History
The 1340 AM frequency first signed on in 1944 as WNHC, under the ownership of the Elm City Broadcasting Company.Triangle Publications acquired the station, along with sister stations WNHC-FM (99.1 FM) and WNHC-TV (channel 8), in 1956.
WNHC was sold to Westerly Broadcasting Company in 1971. (Triangle had sold its stations, including the WNHC stations, to Capital Cities Communications; although it was able to retain what became WTNH-TV, it was forced by the Federal Communications Commission to sell WNHC and what became WPLR to comply with the ownership cap.) By this time, the station had a contemporary format; this gave way in 1976 to a middle-of-the-road/talk format.
