We can trace WHUS's roots back to 1922, when Engineering student Daniel E Noble designed and built 100 watt AM station WABL. One of the first college stations in the nation, it signed on the air just two years after the first commercial radio stations began in the United States.
According to State of CT records the station was one of only four station operating in the state in 1931. WCAC has 250 watts. In 1936 the power was increased to 500 watts. The state registry does not list WCAC in 1938. The WCAC station license was voluntarily surrendered on April 30, 1936 due to frustrations over constant frequency and power changes mandated by the U.S. Commerce Department.
In the fall of 1973 WHUS personnel included Gerhard Krahn-Station Manager, Rich Liftig-Program Director, Mark Roy-News Director, Bill Walter-Chief Engineer, Charles Mereick-Chief Control Operator, Steve Baranowski-Music Director, Howard Weinstein-Special Events and Sports, Dennis Morgan-Minority Program Directoer, Steve Kissel-Traffic Director, Sue Rovinski-Publicity Director, Bob Cersosoimo-Chief Announcer, Jim Esposity-Adversiting Director, Nelson Chekoway-Business Manager.
