The calls were changed in 1985, as I recall.  It got confusing because the 
AM and the FM were at one time both WHUE (WHUE and WHUE-FM), and then they 
got two different owners, two different calls, etc.  Hey, do you remember 
this, from 19 June 1984, speaking of the old WHUE:

                       " WHUE-AM (1150), which was purchased two weeks ago 
by the
                        Tanger family, will become Boston's second 24-hour 
all-news radio
                        station next month. WHUE-FM (101) will retain the 
beautiful-music
                        format that both stations have shared the last five 
years.

                        Douglas H. Tanger, vice president and general 
manager, announced
                        the change yesterday."  (from the Boston Globe)
