[edit] History
[edit] 106.9
At one time, the 106.9 frequency was home to WIOZ-FM, which moved to 102.5 FM in 1995. WKQB played 70s rock hits[1] and later classic rock before switching to urban contemporary and then Country[2],[3]. The switch to the current format came on February 17, 2006[4].
[edit] 102.3
At one time, this station was a Country station in Lumberton, North Carolina with the call letters WJSK. Al Kahn, who bought WAGR in January 1957, signed WJSK on the air in 1964[5] and took the station's letters from the names of his sons Jeff and Steve Kahn[6].
After Messa Corp. bought the stations from Southeastern Broadcasting Corp. in July 1992, WJSK and WAGR ended their tradition of airing only Lumberton high school football and began carrying games involving other Robeson County games[7]
In 1993, Arthur DeBerry and Associates of Durham bought WAGR and WJSK[8].
Cape Fear Broadcasting bought the station in 1998. Until 2006, this station aired the same programming as talk radio station WFNC-AM[9][4].
