History[]

In the fall of 1947, two brand new radio stations signed on-the-air in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The Morning Press turned on AM 930 WCNR and a group of local business people fired up AM 690 WLTR.
In September 1951, Harry L. Magee of Magee Industrial Enterprises changed the call letters of WLTR to WHLM... Harry's Initials!
In October 1953, daytime only AM 690 moved to a new dial position, AM 550, a full-time channel and WHLM became Bloomsburg's first 24-hour radio station.
In September 1956, Harry turned on WHLM-FM 106.5
In 1966, The Morning Press sold AM 930 WCNR to the station manager Ed Darlington.
Press Enterprise in 1998 petitioned the Federal Communications Commission for a waiver to buy back AM 930 WCNR.
In 1998, Magee Industrial Enterprises sold AM 550 and FM 106.5 to a Selinsgrove-based company that turned off AM 550 and subsequently changed the WHLM FM call letters to WFYY, Flight 106.5.
In April 2001, Press Enterprise turned off AM 930 WCNR.
The Columbia Broadcasting Company, in September 2001, Purchased the assets of AM 930 WCNR. The studios, offices and historic call letters were restored in the WHLM Building on the Square in Downtown Bloomsburg. The station signed back on-the-air as "The New 930 WHLM."^[3]
