Station history
editIn June 1981, the station signed on the air as WPAC playing Top 40 hits. In 2001, the station changed formats to classic rock, calling itself "Adult Rock PAC 93."
It was owned by The Wireless Works from the time of its 1981 launch until the early 2000s, when it was sold to Clancy-Mance Broadcasting of Watertown, New York. Clancy-Mance changed formats to a Top 40 simulcast of sister station WBDI 106.7 FM in Copenhagen, New York. The two stations were known as "The Border." 92.7 changed its call sign to WBDR.
At 6 a.m. on Monday, December 3, 2007, the station became WQTK. That ushered in an all-talk format on the station, kicking off with "Imus In The Morning", a syndicated talk show from New York City.
