WQQQ (103.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Sharon, Connecticut, in northwestern Litchfield County. WQQQ also serves adjacent Dutchess County, New York, and southern Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The station is a public radio station, operating as part of the Albany, New York–based WAMC network.
History
[edit | edit source]The station obtained the WQQQ call letters on November 1, 1992.[1] WQQQ went on the air on October 7, 1993, with a live morning drive show followed by a simulcast of then-sister station WREF (850 AM). In the evening and overnights, the station broadcast classical music from the Beethoven Network. WQQQ began programming separately full-time in March 1996 and aired a full service format featuring adult contemporary music format as "Q-103 FM". On February 7, 2011, WQQQ ended the full service format and became a public radio station operated by Sacred Heart University's WSHU-FM.[3]
In January 2021, WSHU announced its decision not to renew the broadcasting agreement with WQQQ. WQQQ ceased simulcasting WSHU on January 31, 2021,[4] shifting to an automated easy listening format. In October 2021, the Ridgefield Broadcasting Corporation filed to sell WQQQ to another public radio organization, WAMC, for $500,000.[5] The sale was consummated on November 24, 2021.
