History

The station was assigned the call letters WHYB on October 31, 1989. On July 15, 1992, the station changed its call sign to WJMR and then on June 7, 1996, to the current WSFQ.{{cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=30467&Callsign=WSFQ |title=WSFQ Call Sign History |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division}}

In January 2009, WSFQ changed from classic rock as "Rock 96" to a "best of the '70s and '80s" format as "Hits 96.3." Prior to the classic rock format, WSFQ had played oldies under the "Q96" moniker. The station later evolved into an adult contemporary format by adding more current and recent hits into rotation.

On January 2, 2020, WSFQ changed their format back to classic rock, branded as "The Rock 96.3 WSFQ".[http://www.northpine.com/blog/2020/01/02/marinette-menominee-station-flips-to-rock/ Marinette-Menominee Station Flips to Rock] Upper Midwest Broadcasting - January 2, 2020
