WJDQ (101.3 FM, "Q101") is a Top 40 (CHR) formatted radio station in Meridian, Mississippi.
History[]
Broadcasters and Publishers, Inc., received the construction permit for a new FM radio station in Meridian. When WDAL-FM hit the air in February 1968, it was the 24-hour counterpart to 1330 WDAL, simulcasting its country format during the day and airing contemporary music at night.[1] The -FM suffix was dropped in 1976, and the station became WJDQ for the first time in 1979.
On September 9, 2011 WMSO changed their format from country (as "Miss 101") to CHR, branded as "Q101".[2] On October 7, 2011 WMSO changed their call letters back to WJDQ, which had been on the 95.1 frequency (now WJXM) in the intervening five years.
