 This station was a direct competitor to Manchester’s heritage CHR 105.5 WJYY, but had an inferior signal compared to it.Saga was able to open up this new station due to a loophole in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules that allows HD sub-channel stations to be repeated on translators.On December 11, 2013, Hot Hits had short-lived intentions of increasing the HAAT of W231BR up to 270 meters to provide significant coverage improvements to the Keene, Portsmouth and Lowell areas; however, this signal upgrade had never occurred.
