History
WEQQ signed on in the 1990s, simulcasting the hot adult contemporary music WEQR. The station picked up the country music format and WKTC call letters of what is now WPLW-FM in 1998. In late 2003, the station played Christmas music and then became WPWZ "Power 95.5 FM", playing mainstream urban music by artists such as Beyoncé, Marvin Gaye and Ludacris, while WDWG took over the country music format. Starting in 2004, they began to play R&B all day as well as the Russ Parr Morning Show until 2006 when they switched to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
