[edit] History
WKQW was founded in 1986 by local broadcaster and engineer Stephen M. Olszowka. Olszowka died in February of 2004 at age 54 and ownership passed to his mother Helen Gesing Olszowka who sold the station less than a year later to William Hearst's Clarion County Broadcasting, for $540,000. Hearst is also the owner of WWCH and WCCR-FM, both of which are also licensed to Clarion County Broadcasting. Though controlled from its Clarion County base, WKQW is still a very separate operation, maintaining its studio and office presence and its own independent staff at its original location: 222 Seneca Street in downtown Oil City.
