WMFQ's transmitter is sited off of SE 36th Avenue at SE 95th Street in Belleview.
WMFQ signed on the air on July 11, 1977. The call sign stood for We Mean Fine Quality, as in the station's "quality" music. It played quarter hour sweeps of instrumental songs and occasional soft vocals as a beautiful music station. Through the 1980s, the playlist added more vocals and scaled back on instrumentals. By 1990, nearly all instrumentals were eliminated and the station evolved into soft adult contemporary. It used the slogan "Q-Lite 92.9" and then "Q92.9." In 1995, WMFQ was acquired by the Asterisk Radio Corporation for $2.1 million.[2]
On August 1, 2011, WMFQ changed the format to hot adult contemporary, branded as "92Q". That lasted for two years.
On June 1, 2013, JVC Broadcasting purchased WMFQ from Asterisk Communications along with WTRS, WBXY, WXJZ and WYGC. WMFQ was then re-branded as "Q92". With the new ownership and management, longtime morning host Bill Barr was promoted to Program Director.
In October 2013, WMFQ made a shift to mainstream Top 40/CHR focusing on the biggest hits and new music. WMFQ is now the only station with a city-grade signal in Ocala area playing 'hit music'. In the Gainesville area of the Gainesville-Ocala radio market, 105.3 WYKS also airs a CHR/Top 40 format but with its 3,000-watt signal, it is difficult to hear in Ocala. WMFQ programming was previously heard on 104.9 WYGC in the Gainesville area, as WMFQ's signal is hard to hear in some parts of the Gainesville area. But WYGC is being sold to a Christian radio organization.
