Licensed to Conway, New Hampshire, the station serves the Mount Washington Valley of Northeast New Hampshire and the Sebago Lake Region of Maine.

History

Before the station was built, its construction permit was assigned the call sign WMLY on June 28, 1989. It took several years to sign-on but finally began broadcasting on October 23, 1995. It took the callsign WBNC-FM. As WBNC-FM, it aired a country music format simulcast with co-owned WBNC (1050 AM). On December 17, 2001, it changed callsigns to WVMJ. WVMJ changed formats to contemporary hit radio and its moniker to Magic 104 on December 26, 2001.
