The station is owned and operated by Homewood-Flossmoor High School. Flossmoor is located about 20 miles south of Chicago. The station operates Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 9:00 PM and on Fridays, when it shuts down at 6:00 PM. WHFH sometimes extends its broadcasting hours to accommodate extra programming (i.e. school sports games and political coverage). Former WHFH hosts have gone on to hold careers in TV and radio both locally and nationally, such as Chuck Garfien, Laurence Holmes and Randy Merkin.[1] HistoryStarting as 'The Radio Club' in 1962, Homewood-Flossmoor High School was originally granted a license to operate at 10 watts on the 88.5 FM frequency on December 21, 1964. The first broadcast was on January 7, 1965. During the summer of 1972 Jerry Garber directed new freshman student Robert Owens to install and wire the studio on campus. Over the years the program grew. In the 1970s the station boosted its power to 1,500 watts (where it remains to this day). A new studio was built in 1992 in order to accommodate the school's growing television program. Another renovation was conducted in 2012 in order to create a more technologically advanced studio for both Viking Television and WHFH Radio. Student curriculumWHFH is run mainly by the student body of Homewood-Flossmoor High School with faculty oversight. The station's license is vested in the Board of Education. The station's General Manager was Robert Comstock, an alumnus, who has been acting in various roles with the program since the 1960s. He retired in 2012 and the position was assumed by Mark Ciesielski, a teacher in the program. WHFH has both curricular and volunteer positions. During a student's second year in the curriculum he or she must produce, edit and direct a radio documentary (formerly 55 minutes long, now 25 minutes due to time constraints) that is broadcast live over the radio. Only by successfully completing this assignment is a student given a management position during her or his third and fourth years in the program.
