[edit] History/Ownership
It has previously been adult contemporary "Sunny 106" WLAC-FM and WJYN, the latter reflecting a former easy listening format, "The Joy of Nashville". It has always been the partner station of the historical WLAC-AM, through numerous ownership changes (presently held by Clear Channel Communications).
[edit] Current Format
The current format features a mixture of fairly hard Classic Rock deemed to be primarily male-oriented; most of the station's playlist first hit middle Tennessee airwaves on the now-country-formatted WKDF during the 1970s and 1980s. Some University of Tennessee sports, particularly college football, are occasionally broadcast as well, when the sister AM station has no time available on its schedule. It is also Nashville's broadcaster of the syndicated John Boy and Billy morning show, heard on numerous Southern stations with the same format as WNRQ.
[edit] Former Disc Jockeys
"Moose" - currently programs WCJK-FM, or "96.3 Jack FM," Murfreesboro/Nashville.
[edit] HD Radio
WNRQ also broadcasts three HD Radio stations: WNRQ-HD1, WNRQ-HD2 and WNRQ-HD3. HD1 is a simulcast of the analog station, while HD2 is a Clear Channel Communications-provided channel called "Vinyl Vineyard". HD3 is a simulcast of sister station 1510 WLAC.
