Before the 2011 holiday season, the then-WLTQ-FM played music with a hot AC format. On October 31, 2011, WLTQ-FM began playing Christmas music, branded as "Santa 92.1". Then, on December 26 at Midnight, the station changed to an adult contemporary format as "92.1 The Coast".[1]

On February 24, 2016, WLTQ-FM changed its format to a simulcast of country-formatted WCTQ 106.5 FM in preparation for a new Spanish hits format on 106.5.[2]

On February 29, 2016, WLTQ-FM changed callsigns to WCTQ, returning the country format and callsign to 92.1 after 17 years.

gollark: Great! I'll probably just run the old skynet server for now or something.
gollark: Er, can you *add* a binary mode? I think that's what's breaking it.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> Do CCTweaked websockets send binary okay?
gollark: Um, can someone help debug?
gollark: I have no clue why, but despite working fine in the JS version, the Lua version completely refuses to work with skynet.
