WWWQ FM 99.7, known as "Q100", is an Atlanta radio station airing a top-40/CHR format. It is owned and operated by Cumulus Media. The station broadcasts from studios in Sandy Springs alongside its sister stations WNNX-FM "Rock 100.5", W255CJ-FM 98.9 "99X", W250BC-FM 97.9 "OG 97.9", WKHX FM 101.5 "Kicks 101-5", WYAY FM 106.7 "News 106.7", and Dickey Broadcasting's WCNN-AM and W229AG-FM "680 The Fan". WWWQ's main competition is WWPW FM 96.1, "Power 96-1" and WSTR-FM 94.1, "Star 94." It broadcasts from a transmitter site in unincorporated DeKalb County west of Emory University.
WWWQ broadcasts in HD Radio.
On January 25, 2008, the Q100 programming and moniker and its WWWQ callsign moved from 100.5 to 99.7, replacing long-time alternative rock station 99X. Its WNNX callsign was swapped back to 100.5, now known as "Rock 100.5".
For most of its early years, 99.7 played host to an easy listening format. Oddly, one of its most popular music blocks in the late 1970s was "Golden Sundays", a rock & roll oldies show (8-10pm) originating live from Timothy John's restaurant in Sandy Springs. It began including contemporary vocals around 1980 and gradually became Soft Rock. In 1983, following the WSB-FM (98.5) change to soft AC, the station shifted further in that direction, opened up its announcers' personalities and became "Warm 100".
