WMQT-FM is an Adult Contemporary radio station in Ishpeming, Michigan owned by Taconite Broadcasting.
The station went on the air in 1971 on 107.1; the original format until the early 1980s was beautiful music. Later on, the frequency was changed to 107.5 and then 107.7 FM. WMQT has shifted between Hot AC and CHR over the years. The station has used the on-air identifier "Q107" for years (in the 1980s, it was popularly known as "Stereo Rock Q107") and primarily competes with CHR WGLQ (97.1), CHR WUPZ (94.9), hot AC WKQS-FM 101.9 and rock WUPK (94.1) in the central Upper Peninsula market.
Casey Ford is WMQT's news director, Jim Koski[1] is the station's program director (and is said to have the perfect face for radio), and Jill Trudeau is the station's morning personality. WMQT's studios were located in Ishpeming, Michigan and recently moved to downtown Marquette. The stations transmitter is located at Morgan Meadows on the outskirts of Marquette and broadcasts with an Effective Radiated Power of 100,000 watts.
