History
On September 1, 1983, WQLA went on the air as WWGR.[3]
On September 6, 2014, Jenn Media, Inc., completed the sale of WQLA to Michael and Sue Beverly's Beverly Broadcasting Co., LLC.
Effective May 5, 2016, Beverly Broadcasting sold WQLA to Ron Meredith’s Clinton Broadcasters, Inc. Coincidentally, WQLA changed their format from classic hits to classic country, simulcasting WYSH 1380 AM Clinton, TN. Meredith has grown the station to be a favorite in the Campbell County area of East Tennessee.
