WQCK

WQCK (105.9 FM) is an active rock radio station broadcasting in State College, Pennsylvania. It is known as QWIK Rock. The station, owned by Magnum Broadcasting of State College, was founded by brothers C. Dean & Sheldon Sharpless, doing business as Moshannon Valley Broadcasting. Its current incarnation was formed after WQWK abandoned its Active Rock format for talk radio in 2008. WQCK's tower is located in Sandy Ridge, south of Philipsburg.

Early years: as WPHB-FM

This station was originally known as WPHB-FM, first signing on the air in 1989 from the studios of its co-owned AM station with the same call letters. Both stations simulcast a classic country music format for approximately half of the broadcast day, with break-aways during the daytime hours for WPHB (AM)'s more Christian-based programming.

The Sharpless family sold both stations in 1996 to local residents Cliff and Laura Mack, who changed the format of the FM station to modern rock. The station also adopted the new call letters WUBZ-FM and the "105.9 The Buzz" moniker. In 1999 they moved their tower to provide a city-grade signal in State College. WPHB and WUBZ were then sold a few years later to Magnum Broadcasting, which moved WUBZ's studios to State College. WPHB, which was more of a local station serving Philipsburg and the Moshannon Valley almost exclusively, stayed in Philipsburg, where it remains today.
