History
On December 20, 2011, the then-WBGI-FM dropped the "K-Love" contemporary Christian format and began stunting.[1] On December 27, 2011, WBGI-FM ended stunting and launched a country format branded as "Biggie 96.5".
On September 10, 2012, WBGI-FM's country format moved to 100.5 FM in Bellaire, Ohio, swapping format with "Jack FM" WYJK-FM, which moved to the 96.5 FM frequency. On September 18, 2012, the stations changed call signs, with WBGI-FM changing to WYJK-FM and vice versa.
On September 8, 2014, WYJK-FM changed their format from adult hits (as "Jack FM") to a hybrid sports/active rock format branded as "Rocky 96.5" under new call letters, WRQY.[2]
