WHUD is responsible for the activation of the Hudson Valley area Emergency Alert System. History In early 1957, Highland Broadcasting, owner of WLNA, began petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to grant a class B FM allocation to the City of Peekskill, New York. In the petition, Highland noted that there were no class B FM allotments between Poughkeepsie and New York City, that the far flung northern suburbs were rather heavily populated, not all of the area was covered by FM signals, and it was culturally unique from New York City. Initially, it was thought that 106.7 MHz would fit in with the stations already licensed to New York City. However, by March 1957 that frequency had already been applied for by the Riverside Church in New York City. After some frequency shuffling between the cities of New Haven, Connecticut and Waterbury, Connecticut, 100.7 MHz was allotted to Peekskill, New York on May 24, 1957. WLNA-FM signed on for the first time on October 24, 1958 as the second FM station between New York City and Albany, New York. The format was a 100% simulcast of WLNA. During this time, the FM station's main source of revenue was a Muzak Subcarrier. The first major changes to the station occurred in late 1971. On October 14, 1971, the call sign was changed to WHUD. In December 1971, WHUD increased its power from 20 KW to 50 KW ERP. In February 1972, the simulcast with WLNA ended, WHUD began broadcasting in Stereo, and launched a beautiful music format. The Bonneville format consisted largely of instrumental covers of pop songs with some vocal standards. Some adult contemporary artists were mixed into the music rotation with one vocal track per 15 minutes under the work of Program Director (and morning personality) Joe O'Brien. Prior to his work at WHUD, O'Brien was one of the WMCA Good Guys and had been doing mornings on the New York City station since the early 60s. During this early period, WHUD branded its format as Music From the Terrace, a term
