WHAM (AM)

WHAM (1180 kHz) is a commercial clear channel AM radio station in Rochester, New York, United States.

Its 50,000-watt non-directional transmitter, located in Chili, New York, operates the maximum power for commercial AM stations in the United States and Canada.

In addition, WHAM carries Mark Levin from Westwood One and Joe Pags, who is based at co-owned WOAI in San Antonio.

Weekend programming includes shows on money, health, home repair, cars, technology and law.

A ceremony marking the event included a three-hour broadcast from the Eastman Theatre with "a galaxy of stars" participating.

In February 1948, WHAM and its FM sister station, WHFM (now WBZA), moved into a new facility, Rochester Radio City.

WHAM radio host Bob Lonsberry has often been the source of controversy, due to his on-air remarks.
