The station went on the air on November 23, 1947, as WMNB, owned by the Hardman family along with the
North Adams Transcript. The Hardmans sold Northern Berkshire Broadcasting to Donald A. Thurston in April 1966. In August 2013, Gamma Broadcasting reached a deal to sell its Berkshire County radio stations, including WNAW, to Reed Miami Holdings; the sale was canceled on December 30, 2013. In October 2016, Gamma agreed to sell its stations to
Galaxy Communications; that sale also fell through, and in 2017 the stations were acquired by Townsquare Media. On March 1, 2021, WNAW changed its format from
adult contemporary to country, branded as "New Country 94.7" (reflecting its simulcast on FM translator W234DD 94.7). ==Translator==
