[edit] History
WHUN began in 1947, and among its original personnel was Cary H. Simpson, who assisted in building the station and would later build a series of his own stations in central and northern Pennsylvania.
For many years WHUN's ownership would be relatively unchanged, with the station and its FM sister, WLAK, which would come on the air years later, staying in the Biddle and McMeen families until the stations were sold in the mid-1990s to Forever Broadcasting.
