Update, I had to change the title and added my comments below.
Seems on Friday WOZZ ended programing where 93.5 became WRQE, 93 Rock.
From Wiki.
The station was previously under the WOZZ call sign, and was noted for airing during the 1990s and 2000s a format of classic rock from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s ("93.5 WOZZ, The Classic Rock Station"). WOZZ previously had studios in the former Fidelity Bank building in Appleton until 2008, when Midwest Communications moved all its Green Bay and Appleton-area stations under one roof in new facilities in Bellevue, Wisconsin, a Green Bay suburb; however, WOZZ (and later WRQE) continue to maintain a control room and sales office in Appleton to meet Federal Communications Commission requirements.
During the week of September 3, 2010, WOZZ ran an online stunt on Facebook under the user name "What Does It All Mean?" The profile page (see 'External Links' below) included short videos featuring WOZZ personality David Burns and painted rocks counting down days ("5 days," "4 days," etc.). Speculation was of a format flip to a more current form of mainstream rock, which is what occurred at 5PM on September 3, after REO Speedwagon's "Time for Me to Fly" concluded; at that time, a brief audio montage introduced "93 Rock", promising a mix of rock music from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s in a less-sedate on-air presentation.[1] (Sammy Hagar's "There's Only One Way to Rock" was the first song played on "93 Rock.") With the format flip, the station adopted the WRQE call sign formerly found on its sister station at 99.7 FM in Door County (which adopted a classic rock format at the same time and day 93.5 FM adopted its new format). The Bob and Tom Show, a holdover from WOZZ, will continue to air during 93 Rock's morning drive time (5-9AM).
I added this.
What will all the pot head, dope smoking. F M type, baby boomers who listened to WOZZ going to do now that the station changed call letters and format? I'm not saying all listeners were pot heads but I know a lot of them who were.
Ah, they won't remember anyway, they smoked too much dope, lost all memeory.
