[edit] History
WTQR's legacy dates back to 1942 when it was W41MM at 41.1. By 1945 it was reassigned to 97.3 and became WMIT, only to move again to 106.9 in 1952.
By 1958 it moved to its current frequency and became the sister station to WSJS-TV & AM and offered an Easy listening format until 1973, the year it flipped to its current format. Its current slogan is "Today's Best Country And Your All-Time Favorites." They are now one of three Country music outlets in the market, WPAW and WIST-FM are the others.
