The frequency had previously been home to WGBP-FM, a high school station at Our Lady of Premontre High School which broadcast with 10 watts from 1975 to 1990. The station was taken silent in 1991 when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay merged Premontre, St. Joseph Academy and Abbot Pennings High School into the new one-campus Notre Dame Academy and considered the radio station an extraneous asset. WORQ, originally assigned to 88.5, was moved to 90.1; it operates on a separate license and with a much more powerful transmitter. As of September 2001, the station was one of 29 radio stations whose plays were recorded by Radio & Records to compile the Christian CHR chart.[2]
