[edit] History
The earliest roots of this station date to 1947 and a station with the call letters WFMY on 97.3 MHz. Two years after its founding as an FM station, its owners constructed WFMY-TV, the first television station in Greensboro and the second in North Carolina.
By 1950, the station was moved to its current 97.1 MHz, but the station was taken off the air in the early 1950s as the company devoted more of its resources to television. The station returned to air under new ownership by the mid 1950s with the call letters WQMG, which stood for "Quality Music for Greensboro.
WQMG was very successful in the 1970s and 1980s as a Urban Contemporary outlet, but by 1996 they would evolve into its current format after they became the sister station to WJMH. They are now one of two Adult R&B stations in the area, the other being WMKS.
