History

WQRX

The station began broadcasting October 1, 1973, and originally held the call sign WQRX.[1][2] It had an ERP of 3,000 watts at a HAAT of 300 feet.[2] The station was branded "The Golden Voice of Southern Illinois",[6] and had a variety format.[7] In 1975, the station began airing easy listening music during the day and progressive rock at night.[7] By 1980, the station had begun airing a top 40 format.[8]

WQRL

In 1982, the station's call sign was changed to WQRL,[3] and the station adopted an adult contemporary format.[9][10] In February 1993, the station's format was changed to country music, airing programming from Unistar's Hot Country network.[11] In 1994, the station's ERP was increased to 12,500 watts, at a HAAT of 459 feet.[12] In July 1996, the station adopted an oldies format, which lasted for more than 2 decades.[13] When the 2020s rolled along, its oldies format tweaked into a classic hits format.
