WHDQ (106.1 FM, "Q106") is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Rock format. Licensed to Claremont, New Hampshire, USA, the station serves the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction area. The station is currently owned by Nassau Broadcasting, LLC.[1] The station's transmitter is located atop Mount Ascutney, VT. WHDQ's signal is also broadcast over two translators--W293AB (106.5 FM) in Keene, New Hampshire and W294AB (106.7 FM) in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Q106 has arguably one of the richest and most colorful histories of any radio station in northern New England. What originally started out as a top-40 powerhouse in the mid 80's to late 1992 evolved into rock and roll powerhouse going forward after that. Q106 was one of the first radio stations to carry the, "Imus in the Morning" show, and one of the first stations to reinstate the show upon Imus' return to the airwaves in December of 2007.

Q106 also has the honor of being the first FM station in New Hampshire to sign on the air as WTSV-FM at 102.1 in 1948.
