WCVQ studios and offices are co-located with its sister stations in Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee; all of which make up a cluster known as the 5 Star Radio Group, a unit of Saga Communications, Inc. The station's transmitter is located near the junction of US 79/SR 76 and SR 46 in eastern Stewart County just north of Indian Mound.

History

The station first signed on the air in 1968 as WABD-FM, which at the time was a sister station to the AM station with the same call letters. Under ownership by the Fort Campbell Broadcasting Company, WABD (AM 1370, now WQEZ) was a Top 40-formatted station. In the late 1970s, WABD-FM broadcast an album rock format, while WABD switched to oldies.

On December 13, 1986, the station was sold to Southern Broadcasting, and changed their call letters to the current WCVQ. The station has used the Q-108 branding ever since. Also in December 1986, WCVQ upgraded its signal to a 100,000 watt signal. Its current owner, Saga Communications, purchased the station at some point in the early 2000s. The station's signal has been transmitting from their current 950 feet (290 m) tower ever since.

HD Radio launch and FM translators

In 2014, through its HD radio signal, the station launched its HD2 subchannel to serve as a Contemporary Christian station, branded as "Sunny 99.1," which is simulcast over analog low-powered FM translator W256CI, which broadcasts at 99.1 megahertz. The next year, an HD3 subchannel was launched to bring the Classic Country format to the area, which is simulcast over W264CK, at 100.7 megahertz.
