WQQQ (103.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Sharon, Connecticut in northwestern Litchfield County, Connecticut. WQQQ also serves adjacent Dutchess County, New York and southern Berkshire County, Massachusetts.

The station obtained the WQQQ call letters on November 1, 1992.[1] WQQQ went on the air on October 7, 1993 with a live morning show from 6-9 o'clock followed by a simulcast of then-sister station WREF (850 AM). In the evening and overnights, the station broadcast classical music from the Beethoven Network. WQQQ began programming separately full-time in March 1996. Until February 7, 2011, WQQQ aired a full service adult contemporary music format as "Q-103 FM".
