CONCORD - WMEX-LP 105.9-FM was named "LPFM Station of the Year" by the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters at their annual convention held in Concord, New Hampshire last month.

The NHAB awarded Granite Mikes to the state's best radio and television stations in 15 different categories. 2023 marked the first time that WMEX-LP 105.9-FM entered this annual awards competition, and Rochester's radio station that plays "The Most Amazing Oldies" took home the award for New Hampshire's best radio station in the LPFM category, as judged by its radio peers.

About WMEX-LP 105.9-FM

WMEX-LP 105.9-FM for years has played classic rock and roll hits from the 1950s through the 1980s, according to Gary James, who heads up the station.

WMEX-AM was the authority for the hit songs we all loved, back when New Englanders wore bobby sox and poodle skirts, Today, WMEX-LP broadcasts in FM stereo and sounds even better. The voice of the station's most popular air personality, and one of the most popular in New England, Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg, can still be heard on WMEX-LP 105.9-FM.

WMEX-LP is a Non-Profit Radio Station

Every one of the station's air personalities is a volunteer, having retired from decades of working in professional radio. We are a local non-profit organization that is here for the purpose of keeping "The Heritage of WMEX" alive by playing the "most amazing oldies," while staying focused on all things local to Rochester.

WMEX-LP is a huge supporter of the Rochester Rotary, as well as everything happening in the Lilac City.

The station is financially supported by underwriting from local businesses and donations from its listeners.
