History.
WSTM went on the air from St. Matthews in 1966. It was owned by J. W. Dunavent and sold four times in its first 10 years of broadcasting.
The station became WNUU on August 28, 1978. On New Year's Day 1980, the station changed its callsign to WRKA. It first aired an Adult Contemporary format but in 1982, the station became a short-lived Top 40 format until 1984, when it returned to its adult contemporary music format. Glenn Beck was their morning drive host at one point. In 1989, the station adopted an oldies format.
On July 18, 2008, at 2:30 pm, after playing The Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye" and a message from the station's program director going into a commercial break, the station aired a clip show of moments of the station themed to "American Pie " by Don McLean that ended on the lyric "The day the music died.", followed by one last jingle. After about a minute of static (through which the ending of "Beginnings" by Chicago could be faintly heard), the station began stunting and introduced their "new" format as "News/Talk 103.1 WRKA" complete with fake reports before having a fake "Breaking Fox News Alert" report of radio antennas in Kentucky being hacked leading into the introduction of New Country Q103.1 at 3 pm, launching with Kid Rock's "All Summer Long". The same day, they changed callsigns to the current WQNU. The stunt was partial similar to the fake ABC News report stunt off of WFLZ in Tampa, Florida in September 1989. The former WRKA callsign is now used on a sister station in the Louisville market.
On July 20, 2012, Cox Radio, Inc. announced the sale of WQNU and 22 other stations to Summit Media LLC for $66.25 million. The sale was consummated on May 3, 2013.
