History.
WNTQ originally went on the air c. 1945 as WFBL-FM on 45.9 MHz (before the FM band was reallocated to the current 88-108 MHz spectrum). It later moved to 93.1 MHz when the FM band moved c. 1946. Reports show that WFBL-FM went off the air several years
a Class B facility of 150 meters (492 feet). The FCC rules determining the power and height maxima for Class B stations were not formed until 1964. Because WNTQ was operating at powers in excess of the FCC rules when they were adopted in 1964, WNTQ, and other stations were grandfathered to be permitted to operate with power and height larger than what is permitted by today's rules. This makes WNTQ one of the more powerful stations in the region with great signal coverage compared to most of its competition in
