History
The station went on the air as WHEW on August 17, 1959.
Hibernia Broadcasting, whose stations were all affiliated with Radio Disney, acquired WPOM in 1999,[8] and switched the station to Radio Disney on June 16, 1999; to better reflect the format, the station adopted the WMNE callsign, referring to Minnie Mouse, on July 9.[9] Hibernia was acquired by Disney, through ABC, in 2000.[10]
Disney sold WMNE to Travis Media, LLC in January 2010.[11] In the interim, Disney took the station, and five other stations slated to be sold, off the air on January 22.[12][13] The station resumed broadcasting on May 6;[14] on June 2, the call letters were changed to WHTY.
In March 2015, Carline Clerge, who already owned 42% of the station, agreed to acquire the remaining 58% from Robert Travis and David Urbach;[15] upon taking control on August 24, 2015, Clerge transferred WHTY from Travis Media to Caribbean Media Group, another company she controls.[16] The call sign was changed back to WPOM on August 24, 2015.[17]
