[edit] History
In early 2005, WBTQ and sister station WELK-FM in Elkins made a format swap. Since the station's beginning, WBTQ was an Oldies station called B-93, and WELK 94.7 was a Hot AC station called K-95 FM. For a while after the switch, WELK was an Oldies station, but in early 2006 WELK dropped Oldies to an Adult Hits station called SAM 94.7, but however due to a decrease in ratings, WELK switched back to an Oldies station in mid 2006. Adult Hits could be found at 93.1 in Barrackville formerly known as SAM 93.1, until April 30, 2007.
