WEMJ (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information 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 the CBS Radio Network, Dial Global and Cumulus Media Networks. WEMJ is known on-air as WEMJ 107.3 FM (after its translator frequency).
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 owns WBIN-TV in Derry and WYCN-CD in Nashua. The deal was completed on November 30, 2012. In March 2016, WEMJ began a simulcast on "WEMJ-FM" at 107.3 MHz (Actually W297BS) and updated their branding to reflect this new over-the-air listening option.
In addition to the main station, WEMJ is relayed by an FM translator.
