WWHC is a Country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Oakland, Maryland.

Due to the high altitude of its tower, WWHC's signal covers most of Garrett County, Maryland, most of neighboring Preston County, West Virginia, and parts of Tucker, Grant, and Mineral Counties in West Virginia. WWHC is owned and operated by Oakland Media Group, Inc.

History

WWHC began as a simulcast of sister station WMSG-AM in 1966. WMSG split from the simulcast in 1978 and became WXIE-FM. The first format on WXIE was a soft adult contemporary format. In 1991, WXIE moved from 92.1 to 92.3 and became 92X and began running a classic hits format. WXIE went dark in 1994.

In 1995, the frequency was acquired by Oakland Media Group, changed call letters to WWHC and began playing Country music with the branding "Hot Country 92". Around 2000, 92.3 went through another name change, switching to "The Train" in reference to the railroad heritage that is found all over the region it serves.

WWHC airs Local News, along with coverage of Nextel Cup and Busch Series races of NASCAR. Paul Mullan serves as station manager and engineer.
