WQPO-HD3 was launched in early 2016, carrying a classic rock format branded as "V100.1; Iconic Rock". WQPO-HD3 is relayed by W261CV on 100.1 in Harrisonburg, from which it derived its branding. On the morning of May 9, 2018, WQPO-HD3 flipped from classic rock to soft adult contemporary, branded as "EZ Favorites 100.1".[3]
