WEMJ (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk format. Licensed to Laconia, New Hampshire, United States, the station is owned by Binnie Media and licensed to WBIN Media Co., Inc. WEMJ features programming from Fox News Radio.[4] WEMJ is known on-air as 107.3 WEMJ (after its translator frequency). It is part of the "Pulse of NH" trimulcast with WTPL in the Manchester area and WTSN in the Seacoast Region.

History

[edit]

WEMJ went on the air April 9, 1961, as a CBS Radio Network affiliate owned by the New Hampshire Broadcasting Corporation. The company's principal, George H. Jasper III, also owned WCCM in Lawrence, Massachusetts.[5]

WEMJ, along with 16 other stations in northern New England formerly owned by Nassau Broadcasting Partners, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by WBIN Media Company, a company controlled by Bill Binnie, on May 22, 2012. Binnie already owned WBIN-TV in Derry and WYCN-CD in Nashua.[6][7] The deal was completed on November 30, 2012.[8] In March 2016, WEMJ began a simulcast on W297BS (107.3 FM, referred to as "WEMJ-FM" by the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters) and updated its branding to reflect this new over-the-air listening option.[9]

WEMJ dropped its news/talk programming on May 23, 2019, becoming a Lakes Region simulcast of Binnie's contemporary hit radio station in Concord, WJYY (105.5 FM).[10] In October 2020, coinciding with the launch of a late morning talk show hosted by former WGIR morning host Jack Heath (which airs on WEMJ, WTPL, and WTSN), WEMJ returned to a news/talk format.[11]

Translators

[edit]
