Early years WGHN-FM signed on the air on January 28, 1969. At first, WGHN-FM simulcast the programming of co-owned WGHN 1370 AM. In 1976, the FM station changed its call sign to WFMG. (Those call letters are now used on
101.3 FM in
Richmond, Indiana.) WFMG separated its programming from its AM sister station. It began airing an automated
easy listening format while the AM station continued with a
full service format of
middle of the road (MOR) music, sports, news and talk. After the stations were sold in 1983, the FM's call sign was changed back to WGHN-FM and the two stations resumed simulcasting, which continued until January 4, 2008.
Change in ownership WGHN owners Bill Struyk, President and General Manager, and Ron Mass, Vice President (known on the air as "Ron Stevens"), announced in April 2007 that they were selling WGHN and WGHN-FM. The new owner would be
Lansing-based businessman Will Tieman. Tieman is also owner of
Michigan State University's Spartan Sports Network. Struyk told the
Grand Haven Tribune that he and Mass were both ready for retirement (1). Despite speculation that Tieman would try to move WGHN out of Grand Haven to become a Muskegon- or Grand Rapids-market station, Tieman told
The Muskegon Chronicle that he did not plan to make any major programming changes (see: "New owner plans to keep WGHN local,"
The Muskegon Chronicle, May 8, 2007) 1, nor would he immediately discontinue WGHN's University of Michigan sports broadcasts in favor of Michigan State sports. In early January 2008, Will Tieman ended the simulcast between WGHN AM and FM. The AM station became a
sports radio outlet as a
network affiliate of
ESPN Radio. 92.1 FM continued with its adult contemporary format.
Tower eviction On November 21, 2022, WGHN-FM and sister station WMPA went off the air after being evicted from their tower site by the city of Grand Haven. WGHN-FM's adult contemporary format temporally moved to sister station
WGHN 1370 AM, replacing that station's oldies format. On January 31, 2023, WGHN-FM resumed broadcasting after being silent for two months. Its
tower was relocated to a new site in Spring Lake. In 2025, Tieman sold the AM station to Cano's Broadcasting, who took over its operations pending final FCC approval under new call letters,
WGHA. Throughout 2025, however, the FM station celebrated the 69th anniversary of WGHN. ==Current programming==
