History
On August 10, 1999 WBHX signed on full-time airing a mostly automated classic rock format with "Radio Rohn" in mornings and afternoons hosted by Mike Jarmus, including his Woodstock lunch show featuring music from the Woodstock period. Specialty shows included "The Dead At Midnight", "Blues Delux" and "The Dr. Demento Show". WBHX was constructed by Beach Haven Communications.
After the Station was acquired by Press Broadcasting, on October 4, 2002, the station switched to an adult contemporary format known as "The Breeze". The very last song played by Radio Rohn before the switch from classic rock to adult contemporary was "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, the very last song played at midnight was Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues.
