The station currently plays a mix of Classic Rock of the 1970s and 1980s from groups such as Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, and Aerosmith, as well as Classic Modern Rock from artists such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Nickelback, Creed, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

History

WHOG was acquired in 1996 from Root Communications as radio station WTSM changing the call letters and format. WTSM was operating as a Westwood One 1970s format station. Black Crow Media would later change its format to Classic Rock.

In late 2008, WHOG dropped the "Classic Rock" designation and started classifying itself as simply "Rock Radio".

In January 2013, ownership of WHOG was transferred to Southern Stone Communications.[2]

gollark: No, that would probably be hard to support and I don't really like them.
gollark: I think msgpack is technically superior, but potatOS doesn't actually ship code for it right now.
gollark: It supports a msgpack-based encoding instead, but none of the clients except the JS-based test one actually use that.
gollark: You can actually use the older v1 protocol (there are no v2 and v3, it's complicated) really easily with wscat or something. There's just no interesting traffic mostly.
gollark: In PotatOS? Nope, the client code is all there, the server doesn't dynamically send extra ones.
