FM History Profile: WQNR

History:

The station started off as WACQ, the FM companion to AM 1130 in town. The format was rather rare: small town top 40 with an emphasis on local Tallasee and Reeltown school sports. The moniker was Power 99. Later switched to automated top 40 before settling on oldies, still with the "Power 99" name.

In 1999, this station began simulcasting WTGZ-FM in Tuskeegee. For a month the calls were changed to WQNR. The simulcast met with such sucess that it is still going on, although the calls have returned to WACQ. The Tiger still identifies itself as "95.9/104.9", the second frequency being a translator in Montgomery.

The station was back to WQNR and classic rock (with Auburn sports) as of early October 1999. But, change is constant in radio. They're WQNR again, with the same format, as of June 2000.
