    History

    WSQN was

    R & B oldies.[6][7] As WURV ("The River") it was classic rock,[8] and it was modern rock "Rock 102.9" and then classic hits "102.9 the Point" using the letters WWRK.[9]

    In a deal announced in February 1997, Root Communications Ltd. announced plans to buy eight radio stations owned by Florence-based Atlantic Broadcasting, including WSQN.[10] Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.[5]

    On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WZTF, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), in a transaction connected to Clear Channel's sale of WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York to Connoisseur Media via Qantum.[11] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
