[edit] History

WGNI was a Top 40 station in the days when the format was heard on AM radio.

Prior to 1990, WBMS was one of the first urban contemporary radio stations in Wilmington.[1]

In May 1996, Community Broadcasting sold WBMS, WMFD and WUOY radio stations to a new company called Ocean Broadcasting. WBMS, a CNN Headline News station, became WAHH, airing the "Radio AAHS" format for children, as well as some local content. The format included news, sports and games as well as music by James Taylor, Mariah Carey, The Muppets, Ren and Stimpy, Gloria Estefan, Animaniacs, Craig and Company, Smoking Armadillos, Fun Factory and Better Than Ezra.[2]

D. Chuck Langley sold WLSG and WWIL (AM) and FM to Family Radio Group in 2000.[3]
