History
Broadcasters and Publishers, Inc., received the construction permit for a new FM radio station in Meridian. When WDAL-FM hit the air in 1969, it was the 24-hour counterpart to 1330 WDAL, simulcasting its country format during the day and airing contemporary music at night.[1] The -FM suffix was dropped in 1976, and the station became WJDQ for the first time in 1979.
On September 9, 2011, WMSO changed their format from country (as "Miss 101") to CHR, branded as "Q101"[2] On October 7, 2011, WMSO changed their call letters back to WJDQ, which had been on the 95.1 frequency (now WJXM) in the intervening five years.
