WWNH (1340 AM, "Love 1340") was an American radio station authorized to serve the community of Madbury, New Hampshire, United States. WWNH broadcast a contemporary Christian music format to the Dover, New Hampshire, area.[1] The station is owned by Brian Dodge and the construction permit is held by Harvest Broadcasting.[2]
History
The application for a new AM radio station to serve Madbury, New Hampshire, with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was filed in September 1987 by Harvest Broadcasting. This application was accepted for processing on February 25, 1988. The original construction permit for the station was granted on November 10, 1988, with a scheduled expiration date on May 10, 1990.[3] The station was assigned the call sign "WWNH" by the FCC on January 30, 1989.[4]
WWNH first went on the air May 20, 1989;[5] it applied for its license to cover on June 26, 1989, and the FCC accepted the application for filing on the same day.[6] However, Harvest Broadcasting had applied to the FCC in January 1989 for permission to move their transmitter location to its current location. The FCC granted the new construction permit on March 8, 1990, with a scheduled September 8, 1990, expiration date.[7]
WWNH operated under program test authority from the FCC pending further action on its application for a broadcast license. In the late 1990s, the station operated from "a run-down prefab house" in Madbury.[8]
After more than 20 years of unlicensed operation, WWNH fell silent in June 2010.[9]
