History
The original owner was the Lewis Service Corporation, whose principal was Harold A. McWhorter. Harold established WPAR Parkersburg in 1935, and WHAW Weston in 1948. Harold wanted his initials as the call letters, WHAM, but Stromberg Carlson had those on 1180 in Rochester. He chose WHAW, telling some they stood for "Harold and (his wife) Wilda," others that he had just turned over the "M" in McWhorter.[2]
On February 14, 2008, WHAW changed their format from oldies to bluegrass.
On April 1, 2010, WHAW changed their format from bluegrass to classic country.
