WLQB (93.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Regional Mexican format.[1] Licensed to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, USA. The station is currently owned by Qantum of Myrtle Beach License Company, LLC and features programing from ABC Radio .[2]
The call letters WDZD were formerly used by WLTT (now WBNE) when that station was at 93.5 FM.[3]
In January 1999, "hyperactive rock" radio station "93.5 Asylum" signed on in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Darren Taylor, assistant program director and afternoon DJ, said that in addition to Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, the station would play bands that did not get a lot of radio airplay, such as Static X, Rage Against the Machine, Godsmack, and Kid Rock. [4] Other artists on WDZD included Rob Zombie, Collective Soul, Lenny Kravitz, Hole, The Black Crowes, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, AC/DC, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Creed), Faith No More, Placebo, The Offspring, and Jonny Lang. DJs who joined the station on February 8 were Freaky Chick, Art, Monkey Boy from WWSK, and Pork Chop of KUFO in Portland, Oregon. Booger of WWXM was music director. Scrap Jackson, operations manager for Root Communications in Myrtle Beach, said the target audience was males in their 20s, and "93-5 is truly an alternative station as Webster defined it."[3]
Because the signal could not be heard throughout the Myrtle Beach market (though Wilmington listeners could hear it), this station did not perform well. WDZD was changed to Memories from ABC Radio Networks, a soft oldies satellite format, in 2000, and the name became "Lite 2000"[5].
Several years later, WDZD began airing the country music heard on WGTR, but the stations went their separate ways in 2005.
