History
WSQN was adult contemporary before becoming a soft AC station called "light and easy Sunny 102.9" airing a syndicated format from Broadcast Programming called AC45+.[4][5] Its later formats included oldies[6] and, under Root Communications, "Old school" R & B oldies.[7][8] As WURV ("The River") it was classic rock,[9] and it was modern rock "Rock 102.9" and then classic hits "102.9 the Point" using the letters WWRK.[10]
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.[11] Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.[6]
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.[12] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
