WQSO (96.7 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Rochester, New Hampshire. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and airs a Talk radio format serving the Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester media market which also includes part of Southern Maine.
Nearly all programming heard on WQSO comes from sister station WGIR in Manchester, New Hampshire. WQSO separates from WGIR for its own local commercials and some weekend paid brokered programming. After a New Hampshire-based morning show, the rest of the weekday programming is nationally syndicated, largely from Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartMedia. WQSO carries Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dave Ramsey and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Local news is supplied from WGIR's news staff and most hours begin with national news from Fox News Radio.
The station signed on in 1979 as WWNH-FM. It changed its call letters to WXKZ in 1983, to WCYT in 1986, to WKOS-FM on December 18, 1987, to WWEM on December 17, 1990, to WSRI on April 3, 1995, and to WQSO on September 29, 1997.
