WHWH (1350 AM, "Radio TED") is a radio station in Princeton, New Jersey, serving Trenton, New Jersey which is owned and operated by Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Licensee, LLC.
WHWH signed on September 7, 1963. The call letters stand for founder Herbert W. Hobler.
One of the first air personalties who gave WHWH a high profile in its early days was Dave Moss, who moved up from WKDN in Camden to become not only the station's first General Manager, but the play-by-play voice of Princeton University sports. Others of note on WHWH for many years were Chris Canali, Betty Gates, Stu Ryder and News Directors Bill Schirmann and Phil Painter. Other notables from WHWH included NBC television news reporter Judy Muller who "honed her skills" there in the 70's. On-air personality Howard David left the station to find success at ESPN and the comedic Bill Bircher took over mornings for many years.
The station had its own promotional staff directed by Hal Stein and during the 1970's and into the 1980's, the station won many national radio advertising awards because of their production and copy chiefs, respectively John Anastasio and Jack Shuster. While the only station at the time with its own production and marketing department Anastasio and Shuster were incredibly talented, securing RAB and CLEO awards, and coaching other young writer and voice talents such as E.B. Moss, who joined the station some 10 years after her father, Dave, had moved on to WFAS then WKTU in New York. Owner Herb Hobler hired Johnny Morris as sales manager who then rose to head up the successful station. (Morris left the company after over 20 years in the late 1990's, acquiring WIMG 1300 in Trenton.)
WHWH went off the air on Friday, April 7, 2006 at midnight, as the result of an FCC's rule tied to AM expanded-band allocations.
WHWH was allowed to return to the air in May 2007. The station's chief engineer Neal Newman created a new format called Radio T.E.D.
T.E.D. stands for "Timeless Entertainment Device" which is mostly a mix of county, oldies, smooth jazz, and standards. Mostly music you will not hear on any other station, including Christmas songs through the year to cheer you up. "The Radio T.E.D." format had previously been used on sister station WTTM during the time of its move from Princeton to Lindenwold.
On December 18, 2008, radio industry website 100000watts.com reported that WHWH had gone silent, though no explanation for this was given at that time.
