WNHT was a television station in Southern New Hampshire, which was licensed to Concord. The station broadcast programming on channel 21, and briefly served as the area's CBS affiliate.
History
WNHT began broadcasting on April 16, 1984. At that time, the station was running a traditional independent format in direct competition with WNDS (now WZMY) [1]. After just three months, the owners sold WNHT to The Flatley Company [2].
Unfortunately, the ratings were considerably low, so in an attempt to gain more viewers, the station added CBS programming on February 1, 1988, and a local newscast on May 28th of that year. Unfortunately, the station failed to lure viewers away from WNEV (now WHDH-TV) and WGME (two established CBS stations in the area), so the station turned off its transmitter at midnight on March 31, 1989, after a Three's Company marathon that aired in place of the CBS lineup ([3], ([4]). The WNHT license was sold to Wilson Hickham's New England Television (no relation to the David Mugar company who owned former compeditor WNEV) in 1991, and again to Boston University in 1993 ([5]), who reactivated the station as WNBU in 1995. The station is now WPXG, a relay of i affiliate WBPX, from Boston, Massachusetts.
