WHXR history

106.3 WHXR signed on the air in 1974 as WJBQ (no relation to the current WJBQ in Portland) changing calls to WDCS and adopting a classical music format in September 1981 involving a frequency swap with 97.9 (Portland, Maine). It later changed to WPKM before adopting the WBQW call sign. It became part of the WBACH network in 1998 and in October 2008 switched call signs and programming with 104.7 (now classical WBQW).

In April 2004 WHXQ originally began broadcasting on 104.7 on the FM Band. Then on October 2, 2008, WHXQ moved to 106.3. The old frequency, 104.7 has been changed to broadcast as a W-BACH affiliate.

Prior to April 9th, 2010 WHXQ was simulcast on 106.7 WHXR.

On August 3, 2010 WHXQ changed their call letters to WHXR.
