They were WCOP originally.  I remember them in the 50s as the Top 40
station that most of us listened to.  They flipped suddenly in the summer
of 1962 to "Middle of the Road" pop music.  They were a number of things
over the years, always with the same calls until they went back to top 40
as WACQ.  During the WHUE years, they changed the AM calls to WSNY for a
time, still doing the same beautiful music, then changed back to WHUE.
They also tried an all-news format, also under the WHUE calls, mostly with
CNN news.  I think they went back to beautiful music after that, probably
simulcasting as much as the law allowed at the time, and most likely
running the same music as the FM at other times, but not at the same time.
