History

In 1971, the station signed on as WSUB-FM. [2] It was the FM counterpart to WSUB AM 980 (now WXLM). Both stations were owned by the Southeastern Connecticut Broadcasting Company. Because shipbuilding is a major industry in the area, the two stations used the call letters SUB, which stood for "submarine."

At first, WSUB-FM simulcast the Middle of the Road (MOR) programming heard on the AM station. But after a few years, it began playing Top 40 music separate from WSUB 980 AM. The station started with the TM studios syndicated stereo rock format. To give it a different identity, the call sign was changed to WQGN, on August 6, 1979. The station became known as Q 105.

In the early 2000s, WQGN and WSUB were owned by Citadel. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011. [3]
