[edit] History

The groundwork for WQZS was actually laid in 1990, though it wouldn't go on the air for the first time until the fall of 1992. A series of interviews for on-air and sales staff was held at the Holiday Inn at Somerset in the summer of 1991, drawing hundreds of applicants. At this time, it was speculated that WQZS would go on the air with a soft adult contemporary format in response to research conducted in the Somerset County area.

When the station did go on the air, instead of soft adult contemporary, the station went on the air with an oldies format, and that format remains today. WQZS still operates literally unchanged since going on the air, having the same owner, format, and studio location.
