History

103.7 first signed on June 14, 1961 as WOSJ, later as WMGM. The 1960s featured an automated Top 40 format, while the 1970s and 1980s featured an automated format as "Rock 104." However, WMGM was not fully automated in the 80's. From 1983-1988 Rock 104 had radio announcers who were called the air force. They consisted of Tom McNally, Mark Didia, Mike Boyle, Russel Egan, and Karen Chamberlain "KC", the original staff going live. Karen Chamberlain left in 1988 to marry George O'Toole and gave birth to actress/model, Chelsea O'Toole.

In the late 1980s, WMGM switched to a CHR format as "Hot 103.7." A short time later, in August 1991, WMGM became "Sunny 103.7," with an adult contemporary format, which evolved into a 70's format by 1995, with "Classic Hits 103.7" being used by February 1997.

In February 2000, WMGM became "103.7 The Shark" with a classic rock format.

Both Barb Larue and Sean Patrick have been in the market for 10+ years on several rock stations.

On August 17, 2011, The Shark became "103.7 WMGM Rocks" with a Mainstream Rock
