WMFQ (92.9 FM, "All the Hits Q92") is a commercial radio station in Ocala, Florida, broadcasting to the Gainesville-Ocala, Florida area on 92.9 FM. The station's format is Contemporary Hit Radio and Top 40.

The station began broadcasting in July 1977 with a beautiful music format; the calls stood for We Mean Fine Quality, as in the station's "quality" music. The format evolved into adult contemporary by 1990, using the slogan "Q-Lite 92.9" and then "Q92.9." The current 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 like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Naked Eyes, George Michael, Tiffany, and Culture Club to its playlist.

On August 1, 2011 WMFQ changed their format to hot adult contemporary, branded as "92Q".

On June 1st, 2013, JVC Broadcasting purchased WMFQ from Asterisk Communications along with WTRS, WBXY, WXJZ, AND WYGC. With the new ownership and management, longtime morning man Bill Barr was promoted to Program 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'. The lineup includes market veteran Bill Barr M-F 6a-10a, Dyann 10a-3p, and The Afternoon Mess with Chad M-F 3p-7p. Q92 broadcasts to the entire Ocala/Gainesville radio market.
