Wednesday night, October 4, 2023, the WMEX Good Guys took to the stage in Concord, to accept the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters award for “Best LPFM Radio Station in the Granite State for 2023.”
WMEX-LP 105.9 FM was assigned the call sign WMVI-LP by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on May 20, 2014, but eight days later changed its call sign to WMEX-LP and began broadcasting “The Most Amazing Oldies”, providing local radio service to the city of Rochester, New Hampshire for the past nine years.
The Station’s History
WMEX-LP 105.9 FM plays the best classic rock and roll hits from the 1950s through the 1980s. WMEX-AM was the authority for the hit songs we all loved, back when New Englanders wore bobby sox and poodle skirts, . Today, WMEX-LP broadcasts in FM stereo and sounds even better. The voice of the station’s most popular air personality, and one of the most popular in New England, Arnie “Woo Woo” Ginsburg, can still be heard on 105.9 FM WMEX-LP.

WMEX-LP is a Non-Profit Radio Station
Everyone of the station’s air personalities is a volunteer, having retired from decades of working in professional radio. We are a local non-profit organization that is here for the purpose of keeping “The Heritage of WMEX” alive by playing the most amazing oldies, while staying focused on all things local to Rochester, New Hampshire.
WMEX-LP is a huge supporter of the Rochester Rotary, as well as everything happening in the Lilac City.
The station is financially supported by underwriting from local businesses and donations from its listeners.
