The station went on the air as WYZQ on March 5, 1987. On October 10, 1990, the station changed its call sign to WQXY.[2]

On September 30, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) informed WQXY's owners that it intended to cancel the station's license due to WQXY having been silent since August 1, 2014. In response, Black Gold Broadcasting surrendered the license to the FCC on October 7, 2015.
