[edit]

In 1971, the stationsigned on as WSUB-FM.[3] It was the FM counterpart to WSUB (980 AM, nowWXLM). Both stations were owned by the Southeastern Connecticut Broadcasting Company. The "SUB" in the stations'call signs stood for "submarine", because shipbuilding is a major industry in the area.

The station started with theTM studiossyndicated stereo rock format. To give it a different identity, the call sign was changed to WQGN-FM on August 6, 1979. The station became known as Q 105.
