Origins

The 93.5 frequency in Wellsville was previously used by WJQZ, now at 103.5 MHz.

WQRW was intended to be a repeater for WQRS, a classic rock station known on air as "Q Rock," when its construction permit was filed in fall 2006. However, WQRS's lone local jock, Scott Douglas, left the station and went to WESB/WBRR instead, and WQRS itself became little more than a satellite station (it later established a simulcast with country music WZKZ). Instead, the ownership decided to give WQRW its own identity and thus was branded instead as "Q 93.5."
