History
In July 1961, the station signed on as WFAU-FM, the FM counterpart to WFAU 1340 AM (now WMDR). It largely simulcast the AM's programming.
On July 5, 1982, the station changed its call sign to WKCG.[4] WKCG played country music until March 1, 1999, when the station adopted the adult contemporary format vacated by then sister station WCTB.[5]
On January 5, 2009, the station dropped the Star 101 imaging and the adult contemporary format for a simulcast of talk radio station WVOM. WCME picked up the adult contemporary format and the Star imaging before switching several months later to a simulcast of WTOS-FM. In February 2009, WKCG switched call signs to WVQM, similar to its simulcast partner WVOM.
