History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 10, 1995.^[2] The new station was assigned the call letters WAOQ by the FCC on December 1, 1995.^[3] After several extensions, WAOQ received its license to cover from the FCC on March 21, 2000.^[4]

Construction permit

In December 2008, the station applied for a construction permit that will allow it to change its community of license to tiny Goshen, Alabama.^[5] The application is contingent upon a simultaneous application to allow WEZZ to move from Monroeville, Alabama, to Brantley and take over the current WAOQ broadcast tower.
