WWOD (93.9 FM) is a Classic Hits broadcasting radio station. Licensed to , United States, the station serves the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction area and monadnock/sunapee/southeastern Vermont area. The station is owned by Great Eastern Radio, LLC. Programming is simulcast on WFYX (96.3 FM) in Walpole, New Hampshire for the Monadnock Region in Southwestern New Hampshire and Southeastern Vermont.
93.9 FM was started on April 18, 1989 as WMXR-Magic 94FM by Rob and Shirley Wolf. In its early years, the station broadcast an oldies format, which was expanded to WCFR-FM (93.5 FM, now WEEY) in 1998 after the Wolfs' acquisition of that station. This evolved to into one of the country's first classic hits station (programmed by KFRC's Chuck "Boom Boom" Canon) with all-digital studios, 3 frequencies (93.5, Springfield, VT, 93.9 in Woodstock, VT and 94.3 in White River Junction/Lebanon); billed as the Valley's "Superstation" and first-in-the nation internet streaming in 1995 via Dartmouth College. In April 2000, new owners Conn River Broadcasting switched the stations' format to Bob Country - still a simulcast of 93.5, 93.9 and 94.3 country music.
Clear Channel Communications bought WMXR and WCFR in 2001 and merged the stations' country format (branded as "Bob Country") with that of its own WXXK (100.5 FM), branded "Kixx". After several months of simulcasting with WXXK, WMXR switched to a simulcast of WVRR's (101.7 FM, now WKKN at 101.9) classic rock format that October. WMXR shifted to modern rock in late March 2002, though WVRR did not follow suit until early April. Two years later, the stations (branded Rock 93.9 & 101.7) tweaked their format to mainstream rock with modest success. Clear Channel sold its stations in the Lebanon, New Hampshire market to Great Eastern Radio in January 2007, who later that year switched WMXR to a news/talk format as "93.9 The Pulse", modeled on sister station WTPL in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. This format was moved to and consolidated with a similar format on sister station WTSL (1400 AM) under the "Pulse" branding in May 2008, at which point WMXR adopted a classic hits format as "Maxx 93.9". The station subsequently returned to classic rock, retaining the "Maxx" branding.
