WYQS
WYQS (90.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Mars Hill, North Carolina, USA. The station is currently owned by Western North Carolina Public Radio, owner of the area's flagship public radio station, WCQS.[1][2]
History
The station went on the air as WVMH-FM on 1978-10-12 and was owned by Mars Hill College. On 2005-04-12, the station changed its call sign to the current WYQS and became a full repeater of WCQS. In 2008, the station broke off and began airing programming from the BBC World Service 24 hours a day. This station's transmitter was relocated to Big Knob after the Madison County, North Carolina Board of Commissioners voted to allow space to be leased on the tower there. WYQS is also heard on the second HD Radio channel for WCQS.[3][4] [5]
