WLQB (93.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult contemporary format.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WLQB Facility Record )〕 Licensed to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, USA. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., through licensee AMFM Radio Licenses, L.L.C.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Station Information Profile )〕 ==History== The call letters WDZD were formerly used by WLTT (now WBNE) when that station was at 93.5 FM.〔Toby Eddings, "Active rock finds an Asylum at 93.5," ''The Sun News'', Feb. 7, 1999.〕 In January 1999, "hyperactive rock" radio station "93.5 Asylum" signed on in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Darren Taylor, assistant program director and afternoon DJ, said that in addition to Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, the station would play bands that did not get a lot of radio airplay, such as Static X, Rage Against the Machine, Godsmack, and Kid Rock.〔Rick D'Anjolell, "Scene 'N' Heard / Southern Culture on the Skids at Bessie's; New Radio Station Jazzes Up Wilmington's Airwaves," ''Star-News'', December 9, 1999.〕 Other artists on WDZD included Rob Zombie, Collective Soul, Lenny Kravitz, Hole, The Black Crowes, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, AC/DC, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Creed, Faith No More, Placebo, The Offspring, and Jonny Lang. DJs who joined the station on February 8 were Freaky Chick, Art, Monkey Boy from WWSK, and Pork Chop of KUFO in Portland, Oregon. Booger of WWXM was music director. Scrap Jackson, operations manager for Root Communications in Myrtle Beach, said the target audience was males in their 20s, and "93-5 is truly an alternative station as Webster defined it."〔 Because the signal could not be heard throughout the Myrtle Beach market (though Wilmington listeners could hear it), this station did not perform well. WDZD was changed to Memories from ABC Radio Networks, a soft oldies satellite format, in 2000, and the name became "Lite 2000".〔Steve Wildsmith, "Lovers of Hard Music Lose Radio Asylum", ''The Sun News'', June 2, 2000.〕 Several years later, WDZD began airing the country music heard on WGTR, but the stations went their separate ways in 2005. WDZD became "La Que Buena 93.5, La Estación De Las Estrellas", with a Regional Mexican format. In 2013, WLQB became adult contemporary B93.5. On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WLQB, to Clear Channel Communications for WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York as part of the sale of the WALK stations to Connoisseur Media. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WLQB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
