History
WQZQ began broadcasting in the 1970s as the FM sister station of Dickson, Tennessee community-oriented station WDKN. In the 1980s, the signal was upgraded and the station was split off from WDKN, which subsequently acquired another FM station. WQZQ began focusing on the Nashville market with a rock music format, Q-103. This station was the predecessor to current Nashville sports radio station "The Game" 102.5 WPRT-FM.
The WQZQ call sign was revived for a former black gospel AM station, which also broadcast Spanish language programming overnight at one point. It was this station that was converted to a sports format on February 5, 2013, when it became the Nashville-area affiliate of NBC Sports Radio. Then in September 2014, the affiliation was discontinued, due to a contract dispute between NBC Sports Radio and WQZQ.[5] At that point WQZQ began broadcasting ESPN Radio programming along with its sister station WPRT-FM, when local or other syndicated programming was not being broadcast on the station.
On January 1, 2014, WQZQ began simulcasting on new FM translator W235BW 94.9.
On March 25, 2016, WQZQ began
