The station was assigned the WHAB call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[5]
After technical issues that left the station silent for a time in the early 1990s, WHAB returned to full-time broadcasting in 1995.[6] In addition to its FM signal, WHAB's programming is carried on Acton Community Television and in a studio room near the high school's cafeteria.
