The station
In October 1993, WSHZ was purchased by Dudman Communications, owner of
Delilah[11] and The Bob and Sheri Show
.
On July 31, 2012, Cumulus swapped 55 stations, including WEZQ, to Townsquare Media in exchange for Townsquare's stations in Bloomington and Peoria, Illinois.[12] On January 1, 2013, Townsquare relaunched WEZQ with a sports format as "92.9 The Ticket".[3]
In 2018, WEZQ became the Bangor
Toucher and Rich from WBZ-FM in Boston, along with the commonly-owned trimulcast of WCYY, WPKQ, and WJZN.[13] The station dropped Toucher and Rich in 2023.[14]
