The station is licensed to Fairhaven, Massachusetts, and is owned by Townsquare Media.[5] The studio is located in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, shared with WBSM. The transmitter is located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on Pope's Island on a tower shared with W243BG. The station was originally built by broadcast engineer Randy Place in 1988–1989.
