WQZS is now off the air

[JKF18]

Due to his legal troubles Roger Wahl's WQZS-FM in Meyersdale, PA was finally laid to rest Thursday. The FCC revoked the license after his last ditch effort to keep the station. Putting his legal issues aside, and strictly speaking on the station itself: It will be missed. While it was mostly automated outside of morning drive the past several years, you would almost ALWAYS in a 30 minute time span hear some definite oh wow songs. An odd oldies mix that would sometimes play The Irish Rovers, Olivia Newton John, The Temptations, Smokie's "Living Next Door To Alice", and a classic country song from Ronnie Milsap all in that set. They also provided a religious broadcast Sunday mornings that was quite popular. As well as broadcasting high school sports and local fairs, etc. This was definitely not a cookie cutter radio station. I would often look forward to catching it along that first ridge of mountains on the PA turnpike. It will be odd not to see it come up on my dial anymore.

Having lived over there within a mile of the studio for it's first eight or so years on the air, I only had one problem with them:
MANY RE-RECORDINGS WERE PLAYED...
