History

WIVQ FM 103.3 began life as Talk Radio 103.3 FM WAIV in April 1994 according to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's call sign database. It carried a right-wing talk format. In the spring of 1997 the station was sold along with co-owned WLRZ (now WBZG) from Crest Broadcasting to "The Radio Group" also known as Mendota Broadcasting. In July 1997 the station switched from all-talk to Light AC using ABC radio's star station format. It kept the AC format until March 6, 2000, at 9 PM when it dropped Light AC for the current top forty simulcast with WSTQ FM.
