WQTX (92.1 FM, "Oldies 92.1") is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to St. Johns, Michigan, it first began broadcasting in the early 1970s and has been through a number of different calls and formats during its history.
For over a decade, 92.1 FM was WWDX ("92-1 The Edge"), a modern rock station. Despite its limited signal reach, WWDX was a consistently popular and highly-rated station in Lansing.
In September 2003, it changed format to hot AC as WKMY "My 92.1." The death of "The Edge" left the decidedly non-commercial WDBM from Michigan State University as the only source for alternative rock music in the market, and left many of WWDX's loyal listeners very angry. Following the change to "My 92.1," the station plummeted in the ratings, and then changed calls to WTXQ and began to simulcast a sports-talk format with WQTX-FM 92.7 Charlotte as "The Ticket."
After WJIM-FM dropped its long-running oldies format in favor of Top 40 in the fall of 2005, WTXQ changed its calls to the current WQTX (WQTX 92.7 Charlotte is now smooth jazz WJZL 92.9 Grand Ledge) and switched from sports talk to oldies, using a satellite-delivered format from Jones Radio Networks.
