WKHW (106.5 FM) was a radio station broadcasting a Classic rock format. Licensed to Pocomoke City, Maryland, USA. The station is currently owned by Great Scott Broadcasting and featured programing from ABC Radio.

History

While the station is licensed to Great Scott Broadcasting, it was operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Bay Broadcasting. Prior to 2005, the station was a simulcast of WBEY, a country music station.

In 2005, the simulcast ended and the station switched its programming to SAM FM, a variety hits programming format distributed by satellite by Westwood One.

In August 2007, WKHW dropped the format the SAM-FM programming. The station overlapped Great Scott's own programming on WKHI which had a similar variety hits format serving the same geographic area. [http://www.varietyhits.com/variety/markets/salisbury.shtml]

The Bay Broadcasting web site now lists 106.5 as K-Rock, which is broadcasting a classic rock programming format. [http://easternshore.vartv.com/]

As of July 28, 2008; Bay Broadcasting's LMA with Great Scott Broadcasting ended in a dispute. As the end result WKHW was granted permission by the Federal Communications Commission to shut off its transmitter.
