[edit] History
WSPQ signed on in 1986 as WFWC, but changed call signs shortly thereafter. WSPQ was the first station in Springville and filled a notable gap between the stations in Dunkirk, Olean and Buffalo. The station's antenna is pointed northward to give maximum coverage to the southern Buffalo suburbs (collectively, the "Southtowns.")
