WNOH (105.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Windsor, Virginia, serving the Hampton Roads radio market in Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. WNOH is owned and operated by iHeartMedia.[2] The station airs an African American-oriented all-news radio format, as an affiliate of the Black Information Network.
WNOH's studios and offices are on Greenbrier in Chesapeake, Virginia.[3] The transmitter is off Nansemond Parkway in Suffolk, Virginia.[4] WNOH broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for the Hampton Roads section of Virginia, although a few FM stations in the market are powered at 100,000 watts if their towers are located near or over the North Carolina state line. (WGH-FM is grandfathered at 74,000 watts.)
WNOH broadcasts in the HD Radio format; its HD2 subchannel carries "K-Love," a contemporary Christian format from the Educational Media Foundation. Sometime in 2022, Master of the Mix was pulled from iHeartRadio, leading to the HD2 channel being turned off; the HD3 subchannel remained on before being turned off as the HD3 format moved to HD2.[5]
