The station originally went on the air in 1968 as WNBI-FM (after having initially been WPFP-FM before signing on; at that time, WPFP AM became WNBI as well). On September 30, 1991, the station changed its call sign to the current WCQM.[3]

Former owner Stephen Marks died on May 11, 2022;[4] he owned the station through Park Falls Community Broadcasting. In 2023, Civic Media bought WCQM and WPFP from Marks' estate for $210,000.[5]
