The station signed on in 1999 with a deepoldiesformat as WZEN, competing withWQSO.WZEN adopted the WMEX letters shortly after they were dropped by what is nowWQOM(1060 AM) in 2001. The WMEX call letters, which were also used during the 1980s on what is nowWWDJ(1150 AM) in Boston as well asWCLXin Westport, NY in the Burlington, VT market, refer to a popular top-40 station of the 1960s and 1970s on 1510 AM inBoston,Massachusetts(which has since reclaimed theWMEXcall sign).
On January 28, 2008, AllAccess reported that the station was in the process of being sold to theEducational Media Foundationfor $1 million.
On June 2, 2008, the station went out with the Righteous Brothers' "Rock n Roll Heaven" as its last tune. While the station changed its call letters to WKHL, implying that it would join K-LOVE, the station ended up joining sister networkAir 1instead. A few weeks later, the call sign was again changed, this time to the current WNHI.[3]
