History

The original WLJY and its 106.5 FM frequency first went on the air on October 22, 1979. However, on August 1, 2006, WLJY changed its call sign and frequency to the current 96.7 FM swapping with sister station WYTE which now occupies the 106.5 frequency.

On December 27, 2011 WLJY changed their format to contemporary hits branded as "HOT 96-7". As part of its launch to the new CHR format, the station announced through a series of short on-air sweepers that, "HOT 96-7 is commercial free through the New Year" and proceeded to play non-stop, commercial free top 40 music for over 10 consecutive days, first airing commercials on the evening of January 6. WHTQ's main rivalry is with Wausau's, 95.5 WIFC. Also broadcasting in a Top 40/CHR format, in January 2015, former WIFC Brand Manager & Middays Tony Waitekus, was made Hot 96.7's new Program Director.
