History

With the letters WNBR, the station was "Bear 94." Back in 1993 the station played 70s music. In 1998 the station played Classic country.

In 2003, Archway Broadcasting Group, LLC, announced its acquisition of WNBR and three other Greenville market stations--WRHT, WCBZ, and WZBR--from Eastern North Carolina Broadcasting Company, Inc. for $6.5 million. Also that year, Archway bought WGPM and WCZI.

Later the station switched to WWEA, and together with WWGL (94.3 FM, formerly WGPM), this was a country station known as "Eagle 94." Then WWEA became WWHA, and WWGL became WWNK. The stations were "Hank FM".

Inner Banks Media LLC bought WWHA and WWNK as part of a cluster of stations from Archway for $4.5 million in March 2007.
