The station flipped at noon Friday starting with Barbara Mandrell's “I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" and "God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood. The station is launching with a limited-commercial “All-American Weekend."
The station was Classic Country until late November 2008, when it was abruptly dropped for an all-Christmas format. After that, it flipped to Classic Hits as "Flashback 94.3." On July 30, 2010 WWNQ rebranded as "94.3 The River", taking the station off the satellite and programmed locally.
On June 28, 2011 at 3 pm WWNQ began stunting with a ticking clock. On June 29, 2011 at 6 am WWNQ changed their format to CHR branded as "Q94.3". On June 30 t 6 pm WWNQ resumed stunting with a ticking clock and changed their format to classic country, branded as "Country Legends 94.3" at 12 noon on Friday, July 1, 2011.
According OM/PD Marty Hall "Country Legends 94.3 is what this station was when the signal was launched in '94. Ever since it was changed 3 years ago by previous management, people have been asking us to bring it back. Business 101 says 'Give the customer what they want' and that's what we are doing.”
