History
Throughout the 1980s, WQYX was an affiliate of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and Retro Pop Reunion.
In October 2016, First Media reached a deal to sell its remaining stations in West Central Pennsylvania to Seven Mountains Media for $4.5 million. At this point, WQYX was broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format branded as 93.1 WQYX.[2][3] In August 2017, the station changed its call letters to WPQP, and announced that it would flip to contemporary hit radio as Pop 93.1 on August 29.[4]
On March 19, 2018, sister station WZDB switched from rock to a simulcast of WPQP, changing its call sign to WQQP on March 23, 2018.[5] On June 29, 2023, sister station WCCR-FM became an additional simulcast, expanding WPQP/WQQP's reach to Clarion County.[6]
