WNNH (99.1 MHz; "New Hampshire 1 Newsradio") is an FM radio station owned by Binnie Media. WNNH is licensed to Henniker and serves Central New Hampshire. Its transmitter is on Watchtower Road in Hopkinton and its studios and offices are on Church Street in Concord. Established in 1989, the station airs a talk radio format.
The weekday morning show with Jack Heath is provided by WGIR in Manchester, New Hampshire and weekday afternoons feature Boston-based Howie Carr. The remainder of the weekday schedule is made up of nationally syndicated shows from Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, Lars Larson, Red Eye Radio and First Light. WNNH airs local news provided by co-owned WBIN-TV including a simulcast of the TV station's 10 p.m. newscast. National news comes from CBS Radio News. WNNH carries New England Patriots football.
WNNH first signed on the air in October 1989 from the Pats Peak Ski Area in Henniker, with studios on South Street in Concord. The station's original owner was Clark Smidt, who programmed several Boston FM stations in the 1970s, including WEEI-FM (103.3 FM; now WODS) and WBZ-FM (106.7 FM; now WMJX). WNNH's original format was oldies. In the early days, the station also marketed itself to the Manchester area, even though it was a rimshot signal into Manchester itself, and practically inaudible south of the city. At the outset, WNNH had a very slick sound for a small market station, complete with PAMS jingles. The station had a diverse playlist — deeper than most oldies stations.
