WOKQ is an FM radio station broadcasting on 97.5 MHz. It has a country music format.

The transmitter is located in Barrington, New Hampshire with the station's city of license being Dover, New Hampshire. The studios are located in Dover, NH. WOKQ also operates a simulcast on WPKQ 103.7 (with separate commercials), with the transmitter located atop Mount Washington and licensed to North Conway, NH and W250AB on 97.9, a low power translator in Manchester. It brands itself as "The Big 97.5". Due to its Emergency Alert System responsibilities, WOKQ is staffed at all times.

WOKQ was originally put on the air by Fuller-Jeffrey Broadcasting. They operated the station until they sold it to Citadel Communications in 1999.

Previous to the simulcast, WPKQ was Hot AC WZPK "The Peak" before being sold to Fuller-Jeffery in 1996.

Citadel also operates a classic rock-format simulcast on WSAK 102.1 and WSHK 105.3 out of the same studio facility.

Its broadcasts can be heard as far south as Cape Cod on clear days. The protected range of its signal reaches four states and two countries.
