WBHM acquired the 106.1 FM signal when it became available in 2016. For many years, it simulcast the same schedule as that heard on 90.3 FM. Following the upgrade of WBHM’s transmitter in 2023, made possible by the support of listeners, plus many other technical improvements, WBHM now can broadcast on HD radio, which finally enables WBHM to provide separate programming on the 106.1 signal rather than just simulcasting.
