WLVQ is an FM radio station in Columbus, Ohio, United States, broadcasting on 96.3 MHz. Its brand identifier is Ohio's Best Rock, QFM 96. WLVQ is currently owned by CBS Radio and plays mainly album-oriented rock.
History
The current WLVQ began operations in 1959 as WTVN-FM and used those call letters until 1966, at which time the station became WBUK and started playing Adult Contemporary. The station switched formats and started playing "Beautiful Music" (easy listening) in 1969. The station reverted to the WTVN-FM call letters in 1974, but continued to play "Beautiful Music." The station adopted its current identity on February 14, 1977.
WTVN (AM) still exists, but is owned by Clear Channel Communications, and is no longer affiliated with WVLQ. WLVQ was operated by Clear Channel for a number of years before its sale to Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio).
WLVQ airs the Wags & Elliott morning show. Other popular personalities include Dave Man, The Joe Show, and Archie.
