The station began broadcasting in July 1977 with abeautiful music format; the calls stood forWeMeanFineQuality, as in the station's "quality" music. The format evolved intoadult contemporary by 1990, using the slogan "Q-Lite 92.9" and then "Q92.9." The oldies format was adopted in 2004.
As an oldies station "Big Oldies 92.9", despite the "Biggest Hits of the 60s and 70s" slogan, the station also played a fair amount of music from the 1980s, having added artists likeMadonna,Cyndi Lauper,Naked Eyes,George Michael,Tiffany, andCulture Club to its playlist.
On August 1, 2011, WMFQ changed their format tohot adult contemporary, branded as "92Q".
On June 1, 2013,JVC Broadcasting purchased WMFQ from Asterisk Communications along withWTRS,WBXY,WXJZ andWYGC. WMFQ was then re-branded as "Q92". With the new ownership and management, longtime morning man Bill Barr was promoted toProgram Director. In October 2013, WMFQ made a shift to mainstream Top 40/CHR focusing on the biggest hits and new music. WMFQ is now the only station with a city-grade signal in the Metro Ocala area playing 'hit music'. Q92.9 broadcasts to the entire Ocala/Gainesville radio market.
The station was previously heard on 104.9WYGC, bringing it a decent signal to Gainesville as WMFQ's signal is unlistenable in some parts of the Gainesville area.
On January 25, 2021, WMFQ began airingElvis Duran and the Morning Show after hosts Jenn Ryan and Kevin "Bus" Birdhouse were furloughed, and transferred toWYOY inJackson, Mississippi.[2]
