WCNH is a radio station airing a Classical music format, licensed to Bow, New Hampshire, broadcasting on 91.5 MHz FM. The station serves the Concord, New Hampshire area, and is owned by New Hampshire Public Radio, Incorporated.

WCNH operates at only 190 watts due to the crowded state of the noncommercial end of the FM dial in New England. Its coverage area is effectively limited to Concord and surrounding areas of Merrimack County. To make up for the shortfall in coverage, it is simulcast on sister station WEVO's second HD channel.

In 2000, Highland Community Broadcasting was created after New Hampshire Public Radio dropped all classical music programming. The group incorporated as a non-profit and applied for a low-power FM license in August 2000. In July 2003 the FCC granted a license to Highland, for 94.7 in Concord. After 6 months of raising funds, WCNH-LP was constructed and went on the air at 2 p.m. on 29 February 2004. In October of 2008 Highland was granted a construction permit for a new non-commercial license for 91.5 MHz in Bow, New Hampshire. In October of 2011 that new frequency was launched as WCNH.

In June 2014, Highland sold WCNH to New Hampshire Public Radio, Incorporated for $75,000. The sale was consummated on August 19, 2014.
