History

From approximately 2002 through the end of 2010, 101.1 was WQMR, a talk radio station. Programming on WQMR included The Radio Factor , The Sean Hannity Show , Mark Levin, Dennis Miller, and Imus in the Morning , with a local show, Power Talk, filling the late morning time slot. When that format ended on January 10, 2011, the station began a prolonged stretch of changing formats every few months, which continued through 2017, often trading formats with sister stations such as FM 105.1, AM 1590, AM 1280 and FM 87.7. Jack FM adult hits, gospel, Nash Icon country music, mainstream/alternative rock, and The True Oldies Channel have been among the numerous formats that briefly aired on the station from 2011 to 2017.

The most recent format change was November 28, 2017. Since then, WICO-FM has simulcast WOWZ-FM 99.3 from Accomac, Virginia, branded as "Wow 99.3 & 101.1". [2]
