WNMH
radio station at Northfield Mount Hermon School
WNMH is a high school radio station broadcasting a Variety format. The station is owned by Northfield Mount Hermon School. From 1984 until 2010, the station was licensed to operate on 91.5 FM from Northfield, Massachusetts, United States and featured programming from ABC Radio. From 2014 until 2017, Northfield Mount Hermon School held a construction permit for a low-power FM station, WNMH-LP (106.7 FM) in Mount Hermon (a section of Gill), which would have restored WNMH's programming to the FM dial. As of April 2017, WNMH continues to operate as an Internet radio station on wnmh.live.
History
WNMH signed on September 10, 1984. The station's license at Northfield was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on September 28, 2010 when the campus was sold.
The FCC granted a new construction permit on April 21, 2014, to broadcast FM from the NMH campus at Mount Hermon (in Gill, Massachusetts) from the studios in Crossley Hall. WNMH Radio has webcast its signal continuously over the years, beginning with Christmas Vespers in 2004. The construction permit expired on April 21, 2017; the FCC canceled the permit that day.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio station at Northfield Mount Hermon School” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7953502. Authority coordinates are 42.714, -72.444. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
