History

After WLOW-FM (now WRWN) moved to 107.9 from 105.5, a vacant allotment was created at 105.3 MHz for Richmond Hill, a suburban community about 15 miles southwest of Savannah. On May 13, 1991, WRHQ signed on the air.[1] At first, it was powered at 3,000 watts, put on the air by its current owner, Thoroughbred Broadcasting.

In the late 1990s, WRHQ's power was boosted to its current 11,000 watts. WRHQ has remained an adult album alternative/Rock AC hybrid for more than a quarter century.
