The station is licensed to Everett, Massachusetts and targets Boston and its suburbs. It broadcasts from radio studios in Medford. The transmitter site is also in Medford at a separate location.

The station signed on January 20, 1952 as WHIL, a daytime-only station based in Medford, Massachusetts. After an attempt to program pop music, the station flipped to Country music in the 1960s, and added an FM station, WHIL-FM 107.9, which simulcast the AM during the day and continued with similar programming at night.
