The Shark is an FM radio station in the Seacoast Region of New Hampshire, United States. It is simulcast on WSAK (102.1 MHz; Hampton, NH) and WSHK (105.3 MHz; Kittery, Maine), with broadcast studios located in Dover, NH [1]. The station's program format is almost exclusively classic rock. A few specialty programs are carried: The House of Blues Radio Hour with Dan "Elwood Blues" Aykroyd[2], and "The Reporter's File", a public affairs program, both on Sundays. The station was previously the only NH station to carry the syndicated Bob & Tom Show morning show. It no longer carries that program, instead using its own local DJs in the morning.
The station is owned by Citadel Broadcasting[3]. It formerly broadcast as "Arrow", on the same frequencies and with a similar format, but using call letters WXBB and WXBP. The change to the new name and call was made in March 2000 [4]. Citadel acquired the station in August 1999 when it purchased Fuller-Jeffrey Broadcasting Companies [5].
