- WQRS abstract "WQRS (98.3 FM) is a radio station in Salamanca, New York in the Olean, New York broadcasting area. The station broadcasts a classic rock format and is owned by Pembrook Pines Media Group, an ownership group whose sale to Vision Communications is pending. The station signed on October 15, 1988 and had been known as WQRT, branded as 98 Rocks, under the ownership of Michael Washington until the year 2006, when Washington sold the station to Pembrook Pines. 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 (a holdover from the Washington era), left the station in 2007, those plans were dropped. The WQRW station was still built, but now airs a Hot Adult Contemporary format instead.The loss of Douglas, and the lack of a local replacement, hurt the station badly, resulting from the station losing over half of its market share, from third-place in the mid-2000s[1] to tenth in the most recent books. Between January and March 2009, Michael Hamm hosted a live morning show at the station, but left for WDOE in Dunkirk, NY after his short stint. Hamm is now hosting evenings on country giant WPIG in Olean. WQRS primarily broadcast programming from Dial Global's "Classic Rock" (and before that, The Classic Rock Experience from ABC) and also carried the syndicated Nights with Alice Cooper program.In September 2010, WQRS quietly ended its classic rock format and switched to an all-satellite country music format. WQRS competes with WBYB, WDDH and market leader WPIG for the country music audience. WQRS affiliated with the New York Yankees Radio Network in 2011.On October 2, 2013 WQRS changed their format back to classic rock and returned to the "98 Rocks" brand, acknowledging that the change to country was a major mistake.[2] The current format is locally originated (but automated) and features a broader, album-oriented playlist, programmed by Roxanne Stuart who also hosts the morning show.The WQRS call sign was previously heard on a classical music FM station in Detroit, Michigan.".
