WEMJ (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Laconia, New Hampshire, United States, the station is owned by Binnie Media and licensed to WBIN Media Co., Inc. WEMJ features programming from CBS News Radio, Westwood One and Premiere Networks.[3] WEMJ is known on-air as 107.3 WEMJ (after its translator frequency).

WEMJ, along with 16 other stations in northern New England formerly owned by Nassau Broadcasting Partners, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by WBIN Media Company, a company controlled by Bill Binnie, on May 22, 2012. Binnie already owned WBIN-TV in Derry and WYCN-CD in Nashua.[4][5] The deal was completed on November 30, 2012.[6] In March 2016, WEMJ began a simulcast on W297BS (107.3 FM, referred to as "WEMJ-FM" by the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters) and updated their branding to reflect this new over-the-air listening option.[7]

Translators

In addition to the main station, WEMJ is relayed by an FM translator.
