WPMH is a Christian Talk formatted AM radio station licensed to Portsmouth, Virginia, serving Hampton Roads. WPMH is owned by Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation.
WPMH is also heard on FM translator station W261DI at 100.1 MHz, in Norfolk, Virginia.History
The station first signed on the air on December 12, 1971, as WPMH. It was a daytimer, required to only broadcast from sunrise to sunset, to avoid interference with other radio stations. AM 1010 is a Canadian clear-channel frequency. Years later, the station was permitted to stay on the air around the clock, but using a low power at night. In 2004, the station changed its call sign to WRJR.
Chesapeake-Portsmouth purchased WRJR outright from Disney, along with WHKT, in January 2010. In the interim, despite having previously brokered the station to Chesapeake-Portsmouth, Disney, in a Federal Communications Commission filing, stated that it took WRJR, along with five former Radio Disney stations slated to be sold, off the air on January 22. WRJR did not leave the air.Translators
In addition to the main signal, WPMH operates an FM translator station to increase its broadcast reach.
