WJHM History
WJHM began as WMFJ-FM in 1967.  WMFJ-FM was the sister station of WMFJ-AM 1450

In 1984, former Abell Communications management team from S&F Communications purchased WDOQ through a management buyout from Abell before it was sold to Duffy Communications and later Beasley Broadcast Group.
In 1996, OmniAmerica entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement  with Beasley FM Acquisition Corp. to acquire WJHM.  A Local Marketing Agreement was entered for WJHM with Beasley. Beasley made available to OmniAmerica substantially all of the broadcast time of the station pending the consummation of the transactions. OmniAmerica retained Chancellor to provide programming consulting for the station.
