History[edit]
The station went on the air as WLKN-FM on April 1, 1975. On September 3, 1987, the station changed its call sign to WGUY, and on June 8, 1989, it became the current WHMX.[3] The station originally operated on 99.3 MHz;[4] it moved to 105.7 in 1991.[5] WHMX for much of the 1990s was known as Hot Mix 106 and in 1997 was bought out by Bangor Baptist Church and paired with WHCF. In May 2005, the station changed slogans from 105-7 The X to Solution FM.[6]
On September 28, 2012, the sale of WHMX and WHCF, along with translators W274AF, W221BO, W227BE, W229AT, and W270BD, to Lighthouse Radio Network, Inc. was consummated at a price of $100.
