History

Former logo of the radio station used from late 1983 through September 18, 2006

For most of its existence, the 101.7 frequency held some form of the WENU calls (standing for an early slogan, "WE 'N U (You)"). WENU signed on in late 1983 with an adult contemporary format it would hold for much of the next decade and a half. This format would be transplanted to the original WNYQ (today's WBZZ, later WQSH in the Albany market) in November 1996 when that station's more powerful signal signed on. WENU would then be left with Westwood One's Adult Standards format.

When WENU owner Bradmark Communications sold their stations to Vox Media in 2000, WENU's format was one of the few not to be altered within the ensuing months, however the station would gain a simulcast on AM when sister station WBZA in South Glens Falls flipped to a WENU simulcast and to the WENU calls with the 101.7 frequency taking the suffixed WENU-FM calls as a result. This arrangement would last until the end of 2004 when WENU-FM returned to its prior adult contemporary format with the standards format remaining on the AM station.

In early September 2006 (during Labor Day weekend), WENU-FM would abandon its AC format once again to revive the Classic Hits formerly heard on WNYQ before that station went dark in preparation of its move into the Albany market. The station, once again fed mainly by a Westwood One format (this time the Classic Hits format), would take the WQYQ calls as a temporary move in preparation for when the WNYQ calls would be freed. When WNYQ changed its calls to WBZZ, WQYQ took the WNYQ calls.

Sports Coverage

WNYQ is the broadcast partner for the Adirondack Phantoms of the American Hockey League. Both home and away games are broadcast live, with Bob Rotruck, Voice of the Phantoms calling the games. It was also the flagship station of the former Adirondack Red Wings, also of the AHL until 1997, when it switched with WNYQ to 105.7.
