History

The station signed on the air as WNTC in 1999.

In October 2001, sometime after the license was moved to its current location in Drakesboro, Kentucky, the station was acquired by Nashville Sportsradio, Inc., a unit of Southern Wabash Communications. That company, which owns WNSR of Brentwood, Tennessee, converted the station into a full-time repeater of that station, hence making a sports radio station.[2] This makes the WNSR coverage area expanded into the Kentucky portion of the Clarksville, TN-Hopkinsville, KY radio market, and making coverage available well into portions of many Kentucky counties, including Butler, Logan, Ohio, Calhoun, and Madisonville.

On June 25, 2020, WNTC switched call letters with 91.3 FM in Scottsville, Kentucky, and became WPDQ.
