[edit] History
WNTQ made its debut with its current format in 1981. They are also one of two Top 40s in Syracuse, the other being Rhythmic-leaning rival WWHT (HOT 107.9). But unlike WWHT, whose playlist and direction targets teens and young adults, WNTQ is more balanced, broad based, and at times conservative with their music. It has also worked for them in their favor, resulting in 93Q beating HOT 107.9 in the Syracuse Arbitrons more times than not since their rivaly began in 1996.
