History
WBQQ was the original WBACH station in Maine, signing on in November, 1991.
WBQW signed on the air in 1974 as WJBQ (no relation to the current WJBQ in Portland) changing calls to WDCS and adopting a classical music format in September 1981 involving a frequency swap with 97.9 (Portland, Maine). It later changed to WPKM before adopting the current WBQW call sign. It became part of the WBACH network in 1998.
WBQX signed on in 1992 and was previously known as WAVX "The Classical Wave" (then simulcasted with 101.7, the current WFZX). It also became part of the WBACH network in 1998.
WBQI was previously WMDI, the call letters standing for Mount Desert Island, the area in which the city of license, Bar Harbor, is located. It completed the present WBACH network in 2001.
