[edit]The station became WBQK in December 2005, and began carrying a classical music format in May 2006. Prior to this, the station held the call letters WTYD.[6]
On June 1, 2019, WBQK changed from classical music to a simulcast of "All News 102" WXTG-FM.[7]
On June 5, 2020, WBQK flipped from a simulcast of "All News 102" WXTG-FM to a simulcast of adult album alternative-formatted WTYD, branded as "The Tide".[8]
On March 17, 2024, WBQK broke away from the simulcast and flipped to country music as "Cannon Country", launching with 10,000 songs in a row.[9]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
