WKQQ (100.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to the city of Winchester, Kentucky, and serves the greater Lexington, Kentucky, area. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications and licensed to Citicasters Licenses, L.P. It airs a mainstream rock format.[2]
The station has been assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since February 4, 1998.[1]
[edit] History
WLEX-FM [WKQQ's original call letters] came on the air in 1968 on 98.1 MHz
WKQQ was licensed as a 50 KW facility on 98.1, and in 1974 that was increased to 100 KW. It ran from this site until the late 90's when the FCC mandated that all Class C FMs running 100 KW ERP must be 1000' HAAT. At this point, WKQQ switched frequencies with the old Winchester, KY Class A FM, received a CP for 20 KW on 100.1 MHz and built a new station and identity. Winchester received the old 98.1 MHz frequency at the 100 KW power level. WBUL-FM currently occupies 98.1.[3]
In years past, WKQQ was well known to local radio listeners as Double Q, Kentucky's Home of Rock and Roll.
