History

The station went on the air in 1965 at the 101.7 frequency as WXYJ-FM under the ownership of Bud Paxson; it signed on at roughly the same time as what was then its sister station, WNYP-TV.[1] It later changed to WHUG, "Huggin' Country", and ultimately moved to 101.9 MHz; this was part of an agreement between WHUG and WXOX in Attica so that both could increase their power.[citation needed] It has long been Jamestown's country music outlet.[citation needed] The station changed call signs to WMHU, "102 Moo", in January 2001.[citation needed] The station changed its call sign back to the current WHUG in 2004.[citation needed]

From 1994 until his death in 2012,[2] Bruce Baker, another local personality, hosted his long-running three-hour classic country program on the station onSaturday mornings.
