[edit] History
WSPQ was founded in 1986 by G. Robert Weigand as WFWC, but changed call signs shortly thereafter.
[edit] Programming
WSPQ airs a mix of music from the 60's the 70's and the 80's, along with special features such as The Country Classics Show, Breakfast with the Beatles and The Sunday Night Sock Hop. In 2007, with the transfer of ownership from Hawk Communications to Biscuit Communications, the talk format which was featured at the time was dropped and the station became a full-time classic hits outlet, taking listener requests during afternoon drive and all day during "Free for all Fridays".
Notable programs include:
- Fun with Fred Haier Morning Show
- Tradio
- "Producer Glenn" Topolski, early afternoons
- Jake Earl, late afternoons
- The Classic Country Show with Fred Haier Saturday mornings.
