History

Originally WGFG-FM, the station played beautiful music prior to the late 1980s, switching first to MOR and then to country music, at which time the station became WQTR "Q-100". The WWFN call sign was chosen when the station became an oldies station with the name "Fun 100". Over the years, WWFN/WWFN-FM has also played classic rock and CHR.

In January 2013, WWFN switched affiliations from ESPN Radio to CBS Sports Radio. [5]

On March 19, 2021, WWFN changed its format from sports to classic country, branded as "Classic Country 100.1". [6]

On August 28, 2023, WWFN-FM changed its format from classic country to hot adult contemporary, branded as "Q100.1" (format moved from WWFN-FM 100.5 FM Marion). [7] The station picked up the WQPD call sign at the same time.

The stations repeater, WYMB-AM Manning, went silent on 3/30/25 along with 5 other Cumulus Media underperforming stations in a act to get rid of them, as they were almost useless to Cumulus.

On October 24, 2025, WQPD began simulcasting sister urban gospel-formatted WBZF in Hartsville, SC to boost coverage in the Florence, SC area.
