WHOM (94.9 FM, "94.9 WHOM") is an American radio station which airs an adult contemporary format. It transmits from atop Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the tallest peak in the Northeast. WHOM's signal can be heard in five states and part of Canada (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and Quebec). While the station can be heard all over Northern New England, WHOM broadcasts from and considers itself part of the Portland, Maine radio market. WHOM had for a long time claimed on its website that it has the largest coverage area of any FM station in the USA. The station also streams its programming over the internet from its official web page. It is owned by Townsquare Media.
WHOM promotes its programming as "safe for the whole family." In addition to local DJs, the station also airs the syndicated John Tesh radio show.
WHOM traces its history to the 1940s as a weather station, sending temperature and climate readings from atop Mount Washington to meteorologists in Boston. As an FM station for the general public, WHOM signed on the air July 9, 1958 as WMTW-FM, owned by Mount Washington Television (an ownership group that included former Maine governor Horace Hildreth) along with WMTW-TV (channel 8). The WMTW stations were sold to Jack Paar of Tonight Show fame in 1963; Paar, in turn, sold them to Mid New York Broadcasting in 1967.
