The AM and FM then had separate ownership after July 1990, with WGGQ moving to 99.5 MHz and changing its city of license from Waupun to Ripon and later to Omro. Then, in May 1984, the WGGQ call letters were brought back and '99Q' was once again back on the air using Satellite Music Network's All Hit Radio format (later renamed 'The Heat') until July 1990. The call letters were changed back to WLKE-FM from August 1981 to May 1984, and an automated country music was aired. 99Q was an automated station and played Drake-Chenault's top-40 rock format 'XT-40' using reel to reel tapes from 1976 to 1981. Then later the call letters were changed to WGGQ ('99Q'). WPKR's studios are located on Washburn Street in Oshkosh (with an auxiliary studio on Victoria Street in Green Bay), while its transmitter is near Rosendale.įrom 1971 to July 1990, WLKE 1170 kHz (now WFDL) had an FM sister station at 99.3 FM, first known as WLKE-FM, which broadcast an in-house beautiful music format from 1971 to 1976. Since then it has split off and is its own entity.
It started as a simulcast of Green Bay-based country music station WPCK. WPKR (99.5 FM, '99.5 PKR') is a country music radio station licensed to Omro, Wisconsin, that serves the Oshkosh, Appleton and Fond du Lac areas.
