WQHN (100.9 FM, "The Promise FM") is a radio station in East Jordan, Michigan. Broadcasting a Christian format, the station is owned by Northern Christian Radio.
History
WQHN began broadcasting on June 25, 1989 with the call sign WIZY.[1] Interlochen Center for the Arts acquired the license for WIZY from Gretchen E. Millich, a broadcaster, journalist and attorney who held the original construction permit. Millich never built the station, but instead donated the license to Interlochen.[3] Interlochen then changed its call sign to WICV on August 11, 2003.[2][1] The station was an affiliate of Interlochen Public Radio's "Classical IPR" network.[1][4]
Effective March 26, 2018, Interlochen Center for the Arts sold WICV to Northern Christian Radio for $150,000, and the station picked up the new owner's "The Promise FM" Christian programming.[5][6][7][8] The station's call sign was changed to WQHN the same day.[2]
