From January 2009 to February 2011, WJQS broadcast the Radio Shopping Show in conjunction with the business talk format and then Music of Your Life.
On February 25, 2011, WJQS became "Oldies 1400" and started airing a 1950s-1970s oldies format.
More recently, WJQS gradually evolved to 1960s-1980s oldies.
And on January 1, 2017, the station switched from oldies to sports, with programming from CBS Sports Radio.
