history 2 programming 3 references 4 external links history edit wpkx signed on in 1947 1 as wwnh owned by strafford broadcasting corporation . 2 3 initially a 1 000 watt daytimer 2 3 4 the station boosted power to 5 000 watts in 1954 5 and added night service with the same power in 1967 . 6 7 wwnh was an easy listening station by 1971 ; 8 that year the station began an affiliation with cbs radio . 9 it became a contemporary station in 1974 . 10 an fm sister station wwnh fm 96.7 fm ; now wqso was added october 21 1979 . 1 strafford broadcasting corporation sold wwnh to salmanson communications partners in 1987 ; 11 by then the station had a country music format . 12 13 salmanson later changed the call letters to wkos 14 matching the wkos fm call letters adopted by 96.7 in 1987 12 and the format to adult standards via the am only service from transtar radio networks now america s best music from westwood one . 15 the wwnh call letters are now assigned to 1340 am in madbury . another sale this time to bear broadcasting company followed in 1990 ; 16 bear again changed the station s call letters and format this time to wznn and all news largely via a simulcast of cnn headline news . 15 17 18 19 in 1994 wznn was again sold this time to precision media 20 owner of wmyf 1540 am now wxex and werz 107.1 fm ; 19 precision reverted the station to standards in 1995 a format it also ran on wmyf . 21 however although wznn and wmyf simulcast a local morning show the station could not air the stardust programming wmyf aired the remainder of the day as wznn s signal overlapped with that network s lakes region affiliate wasr ; as a result the station rejoined am only . 22 wpkx s logo while simulcasting with wmyf used from april 2011 through 2013 precision media sold its stations in the market to american radio systems in 1997 . 23 ars soon applied to transition wznn to an expanded band allocation on 1700 khz 24 with proposed call letters wayu . 25 it then sold wznn and wayu along with its other seacoast properties to capstar broadcasting in the midst of a merger with cbs radio . 26 capstar converted wznn and wmyf to the wgir simulcast an arrangement billed on air as the action news network 27 that september with 930 taking the wgin callsign soon afterward . 28 29 the standards format would later be revived under the wmyf callsign on 1380 am ; that station is now wmge . along with the wgir simulcast came an affiliation with nbc radio 27 which was subsequently phased out by westwood one in favor of cnn radio . a few months later capstar merged with fellow hicks muse tate & furst subsidiary chancellor media to form amfm broadcasting 30 which itself announced a merger with clear channel communications now known as iheartmedia several months afterward . 31 in the meantime plans for wayu were abandoned and its construction permit was canceled on december 22 2000 . 32 the station picked up fox news radio in the mid 2000s after clear channel signed a larger agreement with the service . 33 in april 2011 wgin dropped the wgir simulcast and began to simulcast wmyf by now an all sports station affiliated with espn radio ; 34 on february 7 2012 the call sign was changed to wpkx . 35 most of the syndicated programming previously heard on wgin is now carried on sister station wqso . in 2013 the simulcast with wmyf ended and wpkx shifted to fox sports radio . programming edit most of wpkx s programming is provided by fox sports radio . the station also carries play by play of the boston bruins the new hampshire fisher cats in contrast to wmyf s broadcasts of the portland sea dogs and the new hampshire wildcats serving as co flagship of the wildcat sports network with wgir and wqso . references edit a b broadcasting
