WAHC tried an album oriented rock format which didn't attract listeners, then by December 1982 switched (back) to middle of the road. In September 1983, facing miserable audience ratings of less than 1% of the market, it made another format switch, this time to contemporary hit radio under the moniker SuperHit 97; the station was affiliated with the RKO Radio Network and competed with WIXX.
