WPAW
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WPAW (93.1 The Wolf, formerly WMQX) is a Country music station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina and serves the Piedmont Triad region, which includes Greensboro and High Point. The Entercom outlet broadcasts at 93.1 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW.
[edit] History
The station's original calls were WAIR-FM (sister station and simulcast partner to current WPOL. In the late 1960s the station began separate programming as a Religious/Beautiful Music station with the call letters WSGH (no relation to the current WSGH, which is a Regional Mexican format licensed to East Bend, North Carolina.
In 1979, the station returned to a partial simulcast of a Top-40 format with WAIR, but the 93.1 station took on the calls WSEZ and the combination was collectively known as Z-93.
In the 1980s WSEZ completely separated from WAIR, and became an Adult Contemporary outlet (as 93 Mix) with the call letters of WMQX, which it retained during its entire tenure as an Oldies station, which began in 1990.
On October 3, 2006 the station began spinning the format wheel, which landed on Country on October 4. The move now gives the region three Country outlets as they take on heritage rival WTQR and upstart classic country station WIST.
As of the week ending November 25, 2006, WMQX officially changed it's call letters to WPAW.
