History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 10, 1995. The new station was assigned the call letters WAOQ by the FCC on December 1, 1995. After several extensions, WAOQ received its license to cover from the FCC on March 21, 2000.

Construction permit

In December 2008, the station applied for a construction permit that will allow it to change its community of license to tiny Goshen, Alabama. The application is contingent upon a simultaneous application to allow WEZZ to move from Monroeville, Alabama, to Brantley and take over the current WAOQ broadcast tower.
