WQIC is Soft Rock 100.1 in Lebanon, Pennsylvania serving the Lebanon Valley region of Pennsylvania. It has an AM sister station, WLBR, broadcasting on AM 1270, out of the same building. The radio signal can be heard as far as Harrisburg to the west, Reading to the east, Lancaster to the south, and along I-81 in Schuylkill County to the north.
WQIC began as WLBR-FM. In the 1970s, the call sign changed to WUFM with a soft rock format. Around December 1992, the station changed its call sign to WQIC as "Q-100" with a Top-40/Hot AC hybrid format. "Q-100" was an affiliate of Open House Party. In March 1997, the station dropped the "Q-100" moniker and returned to the Adult Contemporary format.
Soft Rock 100.1 features its own "Lunch Boat" with DJ Mike Ebersole on weekdays between 12-1 PM. During the "Lunch Boat", music relating to a certain spotlight is played, usually a spotlight that is rather obscure to current commercial radio. Examples of spotlights include a given decade or year of music (the 1970s or 1987, for instance), or genre (ex. Motown), or a particular artist. The station also broadcasts various high school sports games in Lebanon County due to its local presence. WQIC is also an MRN affiliate broadcasting NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races and also an affiliate for the Hershey Bears radio network.
