WDQZ (99.5 The Eagle) is a radio station serving the Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. The station airs a classic rock format. The station signed on in late 2001 as WCSO, with the call letters quickly changing to WDQZ. It was a Classic Hits simulcast with WDQX in Peoria. In December 2005 WDQX was sold, and the simulcast with WDQZ was split. Since then the station has evolved into a more straight-ahead Classic Rock station.

Scott Robbins, longtime Bloomington/Normal personality, hosted mornings on The Eagle for many years, with two different co-hosts. In April of 2007 Mancow's Morning Madhouse was added, and Scott moved to Afternoons, then off the station in August 2007 to host mornings on Cities 92.9. In February 2008 Scott returned to middays on the Eagle. The syndicated "Nights With Alice Cooper" serves as the night show.
