[edit] Brief history
WQRP began in the early 1980s as a simulcast of the former WCXL (now WDPR ) when it was owned by Dayton Broadcast Workshop Inc. and operated out of a former church on West Third Street in the Drexel neighborhood of West Dayton.Originally WQRP operated at 88.1 with WCXL at 89.5. This continued before WCXL was sold and became WDPR..hence the frequencies swapped to their current FM dial positions. Once a southern gospel music format with local ministers airing preaching and teaching programs in the beginning,WQRP now airs contemporary Christian music. WQRP also streams from its website.
