The Shark is an American FM radio music station in the Seacoast Region of New Hampshire, United States. It is simulcast on WSAK (102.1 MHz; Hampton) and WSHK (105.3 MHz; Kittery, Maine), with broadcast studios located in Dover.[1] The station's program format is almost exclusively classic rock. A few specialty programs are carried: The House of Blues Radio Hour with Dan "Elwood Blues" Aykroyd,[2] and "The Reporter's File", a public affairs program, both on Sundays. The station was previously the only New Hampshire station to carry the syndicated Bob & Tom Show morning show. It no longer carries that program, instead using its own local DJs on The Shark Morning Show.
The station is owned by Cumulus Media.[3] It formerly broadcast as "Arrow", on the same frequencies and with a similar format, but using call letters WXBB and WXBP. The change to the new name and call was made in March 2000.[4] Citadel Broadcasting acquired the station in August 1999 when it purchased Fuller-Jeffrey Broadcasting Companies.[5] Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.[6]
