WUTQ-FM (100.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a full service format featuring soft adult contemporary music. Licensed to Utica, New York, USA, the station serves the Utica-Rome area. The station is currently owned by Roser Communications Network.
History
The station became a K-Love affiliate in 2001, after Bethany Broadcasting sold WVVC, a Christian radio station, to Educational Media Foundation for $1.25 million. It was the first purchase made by EMF in the state of New York. When the station took the K-Love affiliation, the calls were changed to WKVU.
On December 15, 2010 WRCK swapped frequencies with K-Love-formatted WKVU, with WRCK (and its Air 1 Christian rock format) moving to 100.7 FM and WKVU moving to 107.3 FM. In November 2011, EMF announced that it would sell WRCK to Roser Communications and move Air 1 to WOKR (93.5 FM), which had previously carried the now-defunct God's Country Radio Network.[1]
On March 16, 2012, Roser took control of the channel and began a simulcast of AM stations WUTQ and WADR, the full-service gold-based adult contemporary stations that had been airing on the station since approximately 2007. WUTQ had previously been relying on an AM-to-FM translator, W238CA (95.5) in Middleville, for FM coverage. On March 23, the station took the WUTQ-FM call letters, with the WRCK call sign moving to the former WADR 1480 AM.
WUTQ spun off its former AM simulcast stations to Good Guys Broadcasting in July 2012; the stations were shut down in late 2015.
Dave Coombs, former morning host at classic rock WTKW and WOUR, was hired as morning host in August 2015.[2]
