History

In August 1997, a construction permit to build a Class A radio station in Lancaster, New Hampshire was obtained. First signing on in late 1997 as WNHT with an Adult Contemporary/Country Radio Station format at 700 watts, the station soon boosted their power to 1,500 watts. On January 30, 1998 the calls were switched to WXXS 2. WXXS would later obtain Class C3 status from their previous Class A. Around the time of their power upgrade, WXXS switched from their Adult Contemporary/Country hybrid format for its current Contemporary Hit Radio format.

Translators

In addition to the main station, WXXS is relayed by several translators.
