WHHN

WHHN is the second Catholic station in the Altoona market, the other being local low-power WMES which are not affiliated with each other nor co-owned. WHHN is owned and operated by Radio Maria Inc. and is a repeater of originating station KJMJ 580 kHz in Alexandria, Louisiana. WHHN's initial sign-on took place on Saturday morning, June 13, 2009. WHHN is the seventh of what is a network of repeaters originated by KJMJ which has been on the air since May 2000...the former KLBG and originally KALB (AM). In 2007, Radio Maria USA applied for ten additional frequencies on the FM band; up to that point it was only a six-station network comprising KJMJ (AM) with three repeaters (one AM and two FMs in Louisiana) with one AM in Texas and an FM and AM in Ohio. Audio streaming plays a huge part in its network operations as its repeater network slowly begins to grow. KJMJ with its repeaters and audiostream make up Radio Maria's only English language network. Radio Maria's international base is located in Erba (CO), within the Province of Como, Italy, and is managed by its founder Emanuele Ferrario. In addition to its English language network, Radio Maria USA operates a Spanish-language network in Houston, New York City and Chicago using FM subcarriers along with an Italian language FM subcarrier also located in New York. Audio streaming of their programming is offered as well from their respective websites.
