From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WQFS (90.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Variety format. Licensed to Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, the station serves the North Carolina college area. The station is currently owned by Guilford College.[1]
The station began broadcasting in an adult contemporary or middle of the road format, but by its second year of operation some disk jockeys began to play what a decade later would become known as college rock. Others would play hybrid programming, which could feature avant-garde jazz, modern classical music, bluegrass, blues, and Musique concrète, sometimes all within the same program. One early experiment involved celebrating the second anniversary of the Paul Is Dead hoax by playing not only Beatles, but other rock, and even classical records backwards, or using the station's two turntables to play a Beatles song forwards and backwards at the same time.
