WQQK
WQQK is an Urban Adult Contemporary FM radio station broadcasting in the Nashville, Tennessee market on a frequency of 92.1 MHz. A transmitter site is in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and its studios are located in Nashville's Music Row district. Beginning in the 1970s as the pioneering station of the "rock oldies" format in the Nashville market, "92-Q" WQQK was later reformatted to Urban contemporary format and currently features a large proportion of rap music in its programming, albeit only Old school hip hop in regular rotation nowadays, which is a rarity for the predominantly R&B/Classic Soul Urban AC format, due to competition from WUBT. It is consistently one of the highest-rated stations in the Nashville market according to Arbitron despite broadcasting with only 3,000 watts of power. It has long been controlled by the Dickey family, controlling figures in the Cumulus Media organization. Today WQQK carries Tom Joyner in the mornings, and D. L. Hughley in the afternoons. The station primarily plays '90s and current R & B. On September 16, 2011, two of WQQK's sister stations, WRQQ and WNFN, were placed into an independent trust while Cumulus sought a buyer.
