History
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s WWVT 1260 AM was WJJJ-AM and broadcast beautiful music and later '60s oldies music. From 1995 to 1998, the station had the callsign of WNNI. WWVT acquired its current call sign after the station was donated to Virginia Tech by Bocephus Broadcasting in 1998. Radio IQ was launched in January 2003.
WFFC was formerly the student radio station of Ferrum College before joining Radio IQ in 2003. Although Radio IQ is officially a partnership of Virginia Tech and Ferrum College, WFFC's license is now held by the Virginia Tech Foundation, licensee of WWVT.
In 2009 WVTW was retasked by Virginia Tech Foundation to broadcast the Radio IQ program stream. Also around that time, Virginia Tech Foundation entered the religious broadcasting scene by placing the programming of Liberty University's WRVL on the WVTW HD-3 channel. WRVL was founded by the now-deceased Jerry Falwell and programs Contemporary Christian Music.
On July 12, 2011 WRIQ signed on, broadcasting at 88.7, serving Rockbridge County and northern Botetourt County.
In October of 2012, WQIQ signed on, broadcasting at 88.3, serving the greater Spotsylvania County-Fredericksburg area.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
