WHFS was the alternative rock station in the Baltimore-DC area. They were originally an album rock station out of DC but they moved to Annapolis in the 80s when I started listening to them. At first they played acts that might not be played by typical AOR radio such as Midnight Oil or the Smiths for example. New Order was big at the time too. By about 1990, it became more commercial becoming something of a top 40 modern rock station, but they still played some great music from groups like Depeche Mode (who I know you hate), Nirvana, REM, and U2. WHFS actually was well known nationally for their annual HFStivals they would sponsor around Baltimore and DC.
Anyway, it was a radio station
