WKDQ
WKDQ (99.5 FM) is a country music formatted radio station in Henderson, Kentucky radio market, broadcasting to Evansville, Indiana. The owner is Townsquare Media. History Begun by Hecht Lackey, owner of WSON (860 AM), the station received the call-letters WSON-FM when it signed on the air in 1947, and most of the FM station's programming in the early years was simulcast from the AM station. In 1971, the FM station switched to a rock format, and the call letters were changed to WKDQ. By the early 1980s, its rock formula was dropped for CHR. In September 1986, WKDQ dropped Top 40 and switched to an adult contemporary format (which sometimes the station also includes an oldies hybrid a few years later), and was known on-air as "KQ99." While it did reasonably well, management saw more significant opportunities in challenging "WYNG 105" (now WJLT, 105.3 FM) and WBKR (92.5 FM). So in late 1992, WKDQ flipped to country. The station instantly became a success, surpassing WYNG and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
