WGAM (1250 AM) and WGHM (900 AM) are simulcasting radio stations broadcasting a sports talk format named ESPN New Hampshire in Fall of 2012. WGAM is licensed to Manchester, New Hampshire, WGHM to Nashua, New Hampshire, USA. The stations serve southern New Hampshire. The stations are locally owned by Absolute Broadcasting, LLC and feature ESPN Radio programming like Mike and Mike, along with The Dan Patrick Show and some local programming; the station has also been an affiliate for Boston Red Sox games, Boston Bruins games, Notre Dame Football games and Westwood One sports programming. Starting September 15, 2014, WGAM added the Glenn Ordway streaming show "Big Show Unfiltered" weekdays at 3 p.m. After Ordway ended his show, the station returned to locally produced sports talk in the afternoons, early evenings and weekends. The station is known for devoting many hours per week covering local high school sports with play by play of individual games as well as a weekly compilation show featuring up to a dozen correspondents reporting live from high school games across the state. Several station alumni have gone on to prominent sports broadcasting careers including Mike Mutnansky, Rich Keefe and Christian Arcand on Boston's WEEI-FM.
WGAM was previously known as WKBR, which had been a popular Top 40 music station [1] in earlier decades, then switched to carrying One on One Sports and a country music format then finally satellite delivered oldies.[2]. On March 20, 2006 the current sports format debuted. Slogan is New Hampshire Sports Radio, WGAM, The Game. [3]
