History

The original station using the call letters WHHT signed on in 1988 at 106.7 FM, with the station logo "Hottest Hits." Studios were located on Happy Valley Road in Glasgow, Kentucky. The station played Top-40 contemporary music. Steve Newberry was General Manager and part owner of the original station, whose first airstaff included Duke Ryan, Scott Jackson, Bobby Rambo, Jonathan "Tunes" Taylor, and Jim "The Captain" Kirk (later known as Scotty Matthews on sister station WKNK-FM.) WHHT was an immediate ratings success, allowing Newberry to expand his radio ownership holdings. He is now among the premier small-market radio station owners in the U.S., and is an active member of the board of the National Association of Broadcasters, having testified before the U.S. Congress on the issue of royalties and performance rights. A few years after it's inception, WHHT's frequency was changed to 103.7, to facilitate a signal power increase. The call letters were later migrated to another station which had been acquired by Newberry Broadcasting.

The station currently holding the call letters of WHHT went on the air as WLMK on August 23, 1991. On April 26, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WXPC, on September 1, 1996 to WOVO, on October 23, 1998 to the current WHHT,
