The station plays an oldies format, bringing back the top performing songs of the 1950s and 1960s. The powerful 40,000 watt FM signal makes it listenable in a three-state region. Memphis, Tennessee, is the largest city in its primary coverage area. The station is the home of the long-running "Pig and Whistle Show" which airs Sunday nights with legendary disc jockey Alex Ward.
KTRQ was originally a 3,000 watt station in Brinkley, Arkansas, before its parent company, East Arkansas Broadcasters, opted to move the tower just outside Forrest City, Arkansas, allowing the signal to be significantly upgraded.
