==History==
95.1 signed on in 1962 as WIST-FM with a beautiful music format, and was co-owned with WIST (AM 1240). In just a few years, WIST-FM flipped to oldies, one of the first ever in the format. SIS Radio, owners of 61 Big WAYS (610 AM), bought WIST-FM in 1972.〔http://www.thatwasradio.com/ways.html, Retrieved on February 28, 2008.〕 That year, WIST-FM changed to progressive rock with the new letters WRNA, eventually becoming WROQ, and went by the moniker ''"95Q"''. Among the WROQ/WAYS DJs to become major celebrities were Robert Murphy (who went to greater fame in Chicago), and actor Jay Thomas, who went to KPWR in Los Angeles as the official host of ''"The Power 106 Morning Zoo"''. Larry Sprinkle, a WCNC-TV morning weather personality, also worked at the stations.〔Jeff Borden, "Disc Jockeys to Reunite Here," ''The Charlotte Observer'', October 7, 1988.〕 The stations would simulcast in morning drive, while running separate programming the rest of the day. The progressive rock format would evolve into album-oriented rock in the early 1980s.
