History

Throughout the 1980s, WQYX was an affiliate of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and Retro Pop Reunion.

In October 2016, First Media reached a deal to sell its remaining stations in West Central Pennsylvania to Seven Mountains Media for $4.5 million. At this point, WQYX was broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format branded as 93.1 WQYX. [2] [3] In August 2017, the station changed its call letters to WPQP, and announced that it would flip to contemporary hit radio as Pop 93.1 on 29 August. [4]

On 19 March 2018, sister station WZDB switched from rock to a simulcast of WPQP, changing its call sign to WQQP on 23 March 2018. [5] On 29 June 2023, sister station WCCR-FM became an additional simulcast, expanding WPQP/WQQP's reach to Clarion County. [6]
