The station signed on October 15, 1988 It signed on as WQRT, and its slogan was "Great 98 Country." They played country music, and they played many more traditional country songs. They served the Salamanca, Bradford, and Olean markets. IT was the top rated station since there were not many country stations. 95.7 in Olean switched to modern country, and switched its call letters to WPIG. WQRT continued to play country with many old country songs. The station was owned by Gary Livingston.
At this point the station rebranded as 98 Rocks, under the ownership of Michael Washington until the year 2006, when Washington sold the station to Pembrook Pines Media Group. The intention was to split WQRT into two stations, WQRS (Q Rock Salamanca) and WQRW (Q Rock Wellsville). However, when the station's only local jock, Scott Douglas, was let go by the company in 2007, those plans were dropped. The WQRW station was still built, but now airs a Hot Adult Contemporary format instead.
