WYQQ (90.1 FM; "The Q") is a radio station broadcasting a Christian CHR format. Licensed to Charlton, Massachusetts, United States, the station serves Southern Worcester County. The station is owned by Epic Light Network, Inc.[2]

The station signed on in 1976 as WBPV, the high school radio station at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School.[1] It became WYCM when Christian Mix Radio bought the station in 2003 and introduced a contemporary Christian music format.[3] On October 20, 2012, the station changed its call sign to the current WYQQ, when Epic Light purchased the station. WYQQ went on the air as "The Q 90.1 FM" in December 2012.
