WHOM's signal is among the strongest FM signals in the world, and the station can be heard in five states (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York) and one Canadian province (Quebec). Under proper conditions, the signal can reach as far east as Acadia National Park in Eastern Maine, as far north as Southern Quebec, as far south as Boston and as far West as the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York. Although the station can be heard over much of Northern New England, WHOM broadcasts from and considers itself part of the Portland radio market. WHOM claims on its website and on the air that it has the largest coverage area of any FM station in the United States. Sister station 103.7 WPKQ (a repeater of WCYY Biddeford) also broadcasts from atop Mount Washington, but at 22,500 watts, its signal is not as strong as WHOM's.

In addition to local DJs, the station also airs the syndicated John Tesh radio show in the evening. From late November to December 25, WHOM switches to an all-Christmas music format.
