WNBH is one of the oldest broadcast radio stations in America (claiming it's the 11th oldest although that can be disputed), dating back to 1921. At one time WNBH had its studios at the New Bedford Hotel where it derived its callsign. In 1948 WNBH added FM service with WNBH-FM on 98.1 megacycles (as the term megahertz was known then)/Channel 251 (now WCTK). The two stations are still co-owned to the present. WNBH is under ownership of Hall Communications and features programming from ABC Radio Network's "Timeless" satellite feed.
